I know I've read of this before. I don't know how common this is. Search didn't find this exactly? I apologize if I missed it.
Driving today I see the wing mirror wiggle upon acceleration. I see the glass has slipped down a bit and I reach out and easily pluck the glass from the housing perhaps a moment before it fell out Once home I applied a little contact cement to both surfaces and put the mirror back in place.
