There are screws on the motor, on the part that attaches to the mirror itself, which may have worked themselves loose. Happened on my old GT, I just popped the mirror off, tightened the screws, and all was good.

I’m trying something. I taped up around the edges of the mirror and poked a small hole in a top piece of the tape. I used spray foam moderately to tighten up the mirror. Stay tuned
