Default Side mirror adjustment switch problem

I started having problems with the switch on the armrest in my '07. I started to have to hold the switch down on the side I wanted to adjust and the button direction at the same time to get the mirror to move. It has gotten worse to the point the left/right rocker switch is so loose I can't adjust the mirrors at all. In fact, if I pull up on it it comes out of the armrest.
Anybody have an issue like this or any idea of what needs to be done to fix it?

Never heard of this but it sounds like replacing the switch is in your future. Did you have the preferred mirror setting saved in memory?
