Do you mean pushing the whole unit or just the glass within the housing?
If it's the whole unit waving around chances are the motor/cogs that fold/unfold it are severely worn. I don't think it's realistic to replace that component on its own.
I replaced the N/S mirror on my old PF a while back (thread on here somewhere with pics) as the folding mechanism was slow or jammed.
If it's loose/worn the only option will probably be to replace the whole unit.
Not sure how different that is on FL vs PF but it does require getting the door card off (or mostly off) to access fixings and connectors.
