Saxo Wing mirror - BobbyG

Someone has clipped by drivers side wing mirror. When I push it backwards away from the car, it springs away like it should do and then springs back into position. Fine.

However, when I push it towards the car, it goes without any force as if a spring is missing. I have compared it to the passenger side and all springs etc seem to be in position.

What exactly holds outer mirror housing in place. Although my mirror looks okay just now, I am sure that once I pick up some speed the airflow will just move it in towards the car.

Any ideas?
