The passenger side mirror is wobbly and I cannot figure out how to tighten it. Can anyone help me with that repair or direct me to where i can purchase the part (other than the lexus dealership)

You must fold in your mirror a lot (as my wife does). Anyway, this is an easy fix, but not obvious. Look under your mirror and you’ll see a silver Torx (star) screw. I’m sure you have tightened that already if not, go ahead and tighten it. Next, if you look carefully there is a tiny slot next to that screw with what looks like a door. CAREFULLY slide a tiny screwdriver (like the kind you find at Radio Shack) in that slot and firmly push in while pulling down on the tiny plastic door. The little door will fall right off and then you’ll see another Torx (star) screw (same size as the other). It is this screw that is loose. Once you tighten it, you mirror will be as tight as it was new! By the way, if you don’t have a Torx driver you should be able to find one in most stores, maybe even Radio Shack. I think it is a Torx 5 or maybe a Torx 10 (I don’t remember) but if you plan on doing a lot of do it yourself stuff, you should have a full set of Torx anyway.
