Default Need Help, Loose Mirror

My 07 Vert rear view mirror is loose. It vibrates and is extremely annoying. I've seen posts in the past about the pins needing to be tightened but this mirror seems to be ratting by the glass attachment point. The glue seems tight, but the mirror seems to be loose from the part that glues to the mirror. Any suggestions???

Thanks Raider, awsome write up... I did just that. Unfortunately, after replacing the mirror on the post, it was still loose... I wound up placing felt between the cam-lock and mounting bracket after the second attempt... That worked like a charm and the mirror is tight as a drum. One pin was bent and I straightened it, but the mirror was still loose. The felt helped out a lot. Now I don't have to bring it into the dealer.... Thanks so much.
