[u]Mirror trim[/u]
The panel is held in by a clip on the top and two little blue grommets on the bottom. The clip is a little fiddly and so sometimes people don't clip it right. Other times they break it. Pull the piece up and out and check the back of it to see that the clip on the tip top is intact and that the two blue grommets are in place. The blue pieces are super cheap to replace if you need to. In the worst case you can replace the trim panel.

Similarly, this is held in by 3 plastic clips. They can loosen over time. The best solution is to cut some self-adhesive felt and put it on the underside of the clips to make it snug again. If the clip is broken, you can jury rig it or replace it. Unfortunately part replacement is expensive but you can sometimes find use ones.
