side mirror won't stay in place. the automatic mirror still works, it is just the plastic part that bends back and forth how do i fix that
I hit a garbage can that was too close to the road and my passenger side mirror now shakes and looks like it is about to fall off. It is not broken. Is there a screw I can tighten to fix this issue?
