Default Driver side mirror falling off, easy to fix?

It's barely holding on to the door by the screws. Looks like the 2 screws are loose. Anyone have experience in this, is it easy to fix? thanks.

If your Vette is like my '91, and I think it is, all you have to do is remove the interior door panel, and you will see two slots in the steel part of the door panel where you can insert a socket with an extension to tighten up the two nuts on the mirror studs. It is not that big of a job at all, just be careful putting the interior door panel back on. Actually the C4 is one of the easiest door panels I have ever worked with, as far as removal and installation...Good Luck!!! :chevy

Thanks for your help. Mine is actually a 95, but the loose mirror was for a 96 I was thinking about buying as a 2nd. Just need to find out how big of deal would it be to fix it.
