Hi,

Alost got my car ready for some pics and after a quick drive out noticed my passenger door mirror is loose.
Has anybody got instructions on how you tighted the body up? I assume the glass needs to be taken out and not sure how to remove it.

Any help appreciated

You mean it's loose on the arm?

Two bolts secure it (bolts are at the end of the arm) - fold it in and you can see one. When it's folded out, manually fold it out beyond its normal travel and you'll see the other.
Make sure it's properly located on the arm - if not, it will seem loose even if the bolts are tight.

Try this. Is for DB9 but should be the same.

It isn't - the Vantage mirror attaches completely differently to that. It's purely two bolts at the end of the arm.
