Vibrating mirror (driver side) at speed

On my recent drive on the highway - 2 hours +. I noticed that my front driver side mirror is a bit loose (end of it moves up/down a couple of mm) so when I am going 120 km/h, there is a annoying buzz of the the mirror shaking. Has anyone removed the mirror before? Will I need to replace part or 'tighten' something internally.

It's rock solid on the passenger side so it's quiet on that side.

I need to buy the whole housing. I will keep the old part as a spare. i.e. mirror (brown spots), LEDs on driver side, motor, etc.

I had that problem but mine was from someone breaking it. The swivel part inside was broken. Hopefully yours is a minor fix.

OMG. It worked! I just tightened one of the 2 screws and it worked. It was the middle screw that was culprit.
