Droopy passenger mirror

I swear I have read something about this before, but for the life of me I can't seem to find it.

My passenger side mirror keeps tilting downward and I keep having to push it back up again. It's driving me crazy. I have disabled the backup/curb view feature where it tilts down each time you put the car in reverse but somehow it keeps finding it's way down an inch or two.

It seems to be getting worse. I'm going to have to get it fixed soon. Earlier today I was going to make a quick lane change. The split second I decided to make the move, I looked to my passenger mirror to make sure it was clear. When I looked over all I could see was pavement in the mirror. I quickly moved back to the center of my lane for fear someone was in my blind spot. Luckily nobody was.

Is there some way to keep it from doing that?

Thanks!
