2017~2024 CX-5 Side mirror is not secure

[Jb0702]

Hi all, It's side mirror again... I took it to dealership today to get it looked at. They managed to fix it and it is now folding as it should be. The only issue is that the mirror housing is became quite filmsy when I touch it.

I don't know if its because they have fitted new motor with the double seal or just badly fitted? The other side feels sturdy as normal.

Thank you!

I'm assuming it was not flimsy before the mirror folding issue and repair? Unacceptable. Ask the dealership who did the work to make it right. (IMHO)

Hard to tell from video, but is the base moving when you move the mirror housing?

If yes....
There are screws at the base of side mirror.
You need to remove the interior trim of door to see it.
3-4 screws there to tighten.
Don't over do it, though.

I once over did it to my Prius'. I broke one.
These screws (on my Prius) were made of aluminum.... :-(

Or, alternatively, take it back to dealer to have them tighten the mirror.
It should not be like that.
