There is a screw on the back side that holds it tight. I had mine tightened at the 5k mark due to shaking so bad when the sunroof's open i couldn't see out of it. It's loose again now, 4k miles later. I'm going to have Lexus look at it again during the 10k. Something may be stripped at this point.

Mine was loose when I brought the car home from the dealership. It was tightened within minutes. I wonder why that particular screw is so frequently loose. No, I don't what size it is; just take several out to the car with you and hopefully one of the will fit.

Hopefully it's just a case of improper installation at the factory and not a poorly manufactured mirror mount on the windshield. It looks like a run-of-the-mill Gentex mirror to me. If need be, Loctite can be applied to the screw's threads.

I should have thought of that. If it gets loose again!
