It's a sure sign it's about to fall off. It's quite easy to prise off the mirror with the backing plate, then remount using some super strong double sided tape.

Woah! ^^

There is absolutely no need to take the mirror casing off. Just adjust the mirror so you can get your fingers round the back then apply light pressure pulling it off. I've changed both mine recently like that.
