My rear view mirror will hold in position just fine but has a lot of loose play when using the garage door opener. Anyone know how to tighten? Couldn’t find a 200 specific thread on this.

I hope someone chimes in on this. Mine does the same thing and I don’t see a way to tighten it.
Edit…..
I just did a search and found this:
“On my 2018, the plastic portion that covers the bolt and electronics are 2 parts. The upper portion, you pull towards the mirror and pull up and it will come right out. That should give you access to the single torx(?) bolt that tightens the rear view mirror. The lower and larger plastic portion doesn't need to come out if I recall, but if you want to remove it, just push it down following the angle of the windshield and the clips should come undone pretty easily. All of this is fresh in my mind since I just installed a dash cam a few days ago”

This.
Put a little blue loctite on the threads.
Just don’t go ham on the screw.. you can pop the metal lug off the windshield if you tighten it too much. Repairable, but a bit difficult to get right.
Thank you! I considered Loctite but wasn't sure if I should... thanks for the advice!
