The most common cause of floppy mirrors is simply a loose nut under the
mirror mount.  CAREFULLY tightening the nut just slightly may cure this for
a while (or may break the bolt off entirely if you're a bit too aggressive
or not so lucky).  I'd try this first, but if it doesn't solve your problem,
personally I'd just replace the mirror.

Frankly, with a brand new mirror running only $19.95, I'm not sure if I'd
bother to buy JB Weld and go through an elaborate procedure fixing the old
one.  Of course it's your time and money, and your choice, but you may not
have been aware that replacement mirrors (of the non-power variety) are very
cheap to replace.
