Not sure if this has been covered before, when I picked up my LS400 I noticed the passenger side mirror flops back and forth. Not sure if it's an easy fix or not but wanted to ask people here first before I tried to buy a new mirror. Is there any pins or screws that hold it in place? I looked at the bottom of the mirror i didn't see anything that was out of place I could be overlooking something though I'm not 100% sure. Here's what it looks like

Has 2 screws that attach it to base. Most likely something inside broke. My driver side mirror was loose was too much trouble to take apart door to replace mirror. What I did was use super glue to hold mirror in place. Still works. I never have to fold the mirrors inward anyway.

You can by the whole side mirror used on ebay for look at a local salvage yard. Once you get the door panel off and window trim 3 screws hold the whole thing to door frame. Will yours move back into normal position? Does the power mirror still work?
If it just rotates to far forward than glue it back into position.

I looked on ebay and around $40-50 for early model years almost double for later ones. All used of course. Not bad price i am sure if you could find new would be much much more.
