Default Rear view mirror loose/jiggle - normal?

I noticed when I got my CPO 2013 GS350 that the rear view mirror has some "give" - it feels a little loosely attached to the windshield and there is some play before the adjustment actually starts to engage. It also rattles sometimes with road vibration as a result. Is this the usual for GS350 or has mine come loose?

I noticed when I got an ES loaner vehicle that the mirror was firmly attached to the windshield.

Nope, mine was loose too and my old Camry was like this too. Just tighten that little screw on the base of the mirror mount and it'll be tight. For some reason they didn't really tighten it at the factory.

When my 2013 was new, the mirror was securely attached. After about a year, it started to wiggle and rattle. Had dealer tighten it. Then a few months later, it began to rattle again and the dealer tightened it again. Seems like a design error somewhere.
