wing mirror casing keeps coming off

The right wing mirrors casing has a nasty habit of coming off unprovoked and is starting to get on my nerves. It hasnt got any cracks or anything from what I can see and it goes back perfectly into place when I push it back on, feel like it needs to click into place to lock it in and its not doing so. And help on what I should look for in terms of faults/how to fix it would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much

Take the covering off---put your nose about three inches away from the assembly--let your eyes focus a bit and look for the metal wire
