There's a floppy mirror thread in the Chim section, and also others on this site. Try and do a search, don't know whether the mirrors (Chim and Griff) have similar innards tho'

If it's anything like an S3, you'll have to take the door trim off (or loudspeaker out if you have small hands) and tighten up a nt on the inside. Tricky.

Something similar happened to my Chimaera, and it broke the metal frame inside the mirror. It was going to cost £200 to replace, as the mirror comes as a unit, so I used some "No more nails", and judicious alterations to the fixing nuts etc., and it was rock solid after that. Griff mirrors are different make though.
