My driver side was loose also. I squeezed the clips a bit and tightend it up. You'll see the clips once the door panel is off.

those clips are made to dig in and not come out, chances are the are rusted or brittle.. you can try to slide a piece of stainless metal like roof flashing or something like that up in between the clip and the door, that worked for me but dont get your hopes up, they dont like being removed... just try not to rip a groove in the door. Thats what makes them not fit tight next time..

To remove it, start at the side near the handle and start tugging on it carefully moving further up as it starts coming out. If you keep tugging to far away from the next clip then the leverage will bend it. Its almost impossible not to bend the last 8 inches or so unless you completely remove the triangle bracket that holds the mirror(pain to line back up after removed)

Thats how I did it, Mine sits perfect against the door and window still. When installing it back I did have to tweak the clips and even slightly bend it straight again.

Just be very patient with it and you will be ok
