Not sure if I understand what to check for secure but the entire assembly is securely mounted on door. With very light force I can re-adjust the mirror by pushing it back in place. Sounds like it's ratcheting inside, probably stripping gears if there are any in there.

In that your profile says you have a 97 I am going to "assume" the mirror is moving from side to side as if you were folding it in to go through a car wash. If that is the case there is NO fix for it other than to buy a new unit and have it painted. I know this because that is what happened to my 97(still under warranty). Seems there was a TSB on this a while back. Be sure you are sitting down when you get the price for this fix.

Well I guess I'm lucky in that respect. It is the actual mirror losing it's adjustment within the housing. It's as if the adjustment buttons were pushed to move it around. Still, I fear it won't be cheap.
