Default Rear view mirror is loose

My rear view mirror is loose. I was wondering if there was a screw behind the plastic molding piece that I could tighten. It's still under warranty, but if it's something I could do in a couple of minutes, I'd rather do it myself.

I read somewhere that it was a problem they fixed under warranty because of that issue. Does the dealer just tighten it up or is there something else they do?

I'm not sure if that's what the OP is talking about though.

No, I think it's just loose from the plate that attaches to the windshield.

Right, I have a 2010 so I think it's already got the revised mirror.

Thanks. I kind of figured it was a screw loose. Probably because the F rides rough, the screw has come loose over time. I'll check it out.
