How to fix a side mirror on a Toyota Tacoma

Update I had to perform this repair again... so I went to the store and bought a pack of 1/4" (M6) Split Lock Washers and used one on each bolt. It has been several months and my mirrors are still silent.
My passenger side mirror was loose and was making a lot of noise. Before you start ripping off your door panels, try accessing this trap door. Perhaps I drove my truck through too many automated car washes... Good luck!

    I use a lot of automatic car washes so that's probably what made my mirror loose. Good luck Liz!

    Thanks man, I had already messed with the "visible" screw. Was freaking out that I might have to just buy a replacement. 07 Tacoma base model, worked like a charm!

    Great how to vid. Sir! My 2006 developed this same problem. Your video took the guess work out of it. The ones under the cap were way loose.

    Thanks! I would otherwise have been afraid to forcefully pry the plastic tab. Worked for me. 2007 Tacoma.

    Thank you sir! I use alot of automatic car wash too. The car wash guys always push the mirrors in before entering the car wash. Guess that's what made mines loose.

    Thanks for the tip. I've got the same problem on my 2005. I wonder if some loc-tite on the threads would prevent the screws from loosening up?

    *Update* use 1/4” M6 split lock washers to improve the connection with the hardware.

    Thank you. I didn't, could see the "hidden tab" and that was the ticket. We often pull our mirrors in due to a tight garage, so will continue the process to see if there are worn gaskets/nuts above the two screws in the compartment, but for now, it is tighten. Not in the mood to take the door off. (Tacoma 2005)
