How do I tighten my Volvo S40 wobbly side rearview mirror len?

SOURCE: 2004 rx330 passenger side mirror wobbly

On the bottom of the mirror casing there are three screws - one visible and two hidden by a plastic panel. To open the plastic panel use a small knife or screwdriver and pop it open using the small **** on one edge of the panel. Careful - if one or both of the screws are completely loose, they will drop on the ground and most likely end up in that endless black hole where all those socks go when we wash them. ;)

Most mirrors have a removable cover just on the inside of the door. If you look closely where the mirror meets the door on the inside should be a snap in place cover or three screw holes with snap in covers that you remove and then use a screwdriver or small socket wrench to tighten the screws or bolts.

applgirl2, did you find a fix? I'm having the exact same problem. Driver side works, passenger suddenly doesn't.

Thanks

SOURCE: How can I replace broken mirror glass volvo S40

You can replace it a couple of ways, my wife broke my side mirror with a paint ball gun, so I just cut a piece of mirror and glued it in the holder. Worked great for years, Till I found a new mirror, and took the real glass out and snapped it in the holder. But you can remove the holder by taking off the plastic cover inside the car behind the mirror, unbolt the holder and hang on to it, it is heavy. You might have to pull the door panel to get the wire disconnected. Then you can either replace it or work on it easily. Hope this helps.
