Are you saying that a hinge pivot has broken/come loose, or that the actual mirror glass is becoming detached from the metal base?

Detached mirror glass can be as simple as a 're-glue' or replacing the adhesive tape. A worn or loose hinge pivot will require stripdown of the mirror box.

Pivot is ok, only mirrow appears to be loose on one side and proabley needs regluing both sides. But what sort of glue should be used?

out of curiosity, will you check out an old post of mine and tell me if your mirror assembly looks the same? and if you end up needing one just let me know.
