well i know about putting the cam on a 90 degree angle, when doing so and lining it up it does not stay snug. It is loose even when stretching the pins out on the cam. any suggestions before it is off to the dealership, which I dread going to.

Sorry to be a funny guy when you still don't have a fix --I thought it was easy, but have never messed with my own yet. Going to go take it off right now, though, so that I can speak from experience. Seriously. Be back in a few.

120 degree turn
easy on/easy off for mine.
If yours is not staying snug, look at the mirror body -- see that it has some torx retaining screws and springs... might want to see what is up with that...

tomorrow i will call the service department and have them order a new cam for the rearview mirror and hopefully that will do the trick and also the 3 pins that sit in the cam will be ordered to

I recently had the same problem. The mirror was loose so I bent the springs and couldn't get the mirror back on. I straightened them leaving just a small bend and the mirror went on but it was loose. After playing with it for 30 minutes I turned the mirror just slightly and it firmed up. It's OK now but I'm afraid to adjust it for fear it will be loose again. Let us know what you find out.

I dont suppose anyone knows which one of them thar wires powers the friggin airbag on off lights?
If you dont have kids, is there any reason to know wether its on or off?
If theres a problem, wont the warning lights on the dash tell you?
Ugh.
