The spring inside the mirror housing had come loose due to worn retaining washer and/or shaft. You need to find ways to retension the spring and keep it that way.

This is a pretty straight-forward DIY fix. Existing threads on topic.

Ok I thought the diy was just for the power folding mirror problem. I searched for loose mirror and found nothing. I seen stuff on YouTube but that was for the IS class so I assume it will be about the same then?

When you say mirror "just swings/flaps" what does that mean? Are you referring to the mirror glass, or the entire mirror assembly?
