Default Driver side mirror housing

My drivers side mirror housing seems to be loose. Which bolts tighten this, I know there are 3 nuts when you remove the plastic piece from inside the car and there are 2 screws on the outside that seem impossible to get to.

Its held on by those 3 bolts you mentioned. My bracket snapped somehow while driving so I had to buy a new unit from the dealership...which sucked.

Well I was able to tighten the 3 bolts somewhat, they didnt move much, and the housing still seems "loose".

Your bracket is most likely cracked. Mine was loose as well for some time... then one day, the housing was just hanging on by the two bolts on the bottom of the bracket (cracked all the way through). I took the housing off, got JBweld and little pieces of metal. I put the little pieces of metal on both sides for extra strength. Put JB weld on both sides, let it dry for a few days (car was down for a few days because I got a mail order tune) and put it on. Now its pretty damn firm on there.
