Driver side mirror

The driver side mirror has decided it prefers to offer a fuzzy image instead of a steady one. If I adjust the mirror, the reflection is nice and clear. After 50 miles or so, the mirror works loose and vibrates around to the point of not reflecting a useful image. Even sitting still, the vibrations from the motor cause the mirror to buzz. They are non powered mirrors, simple push the glass to adjust style.

Any easy fixes? I would like to try to fix this myself if possible. Taking the car to the dealer is too much of a pain, especially since they dont offer loaner cars.

You can remove the mirror glass assembly and try tightening the pivot. Just tilt the mirror up, get your fingers under the bottom, pull straight out until the bottom unclips, and then lift it off.
