Rattling Mirror

My left hand mirror has been rattling over the last week. Looks like the glass is not firmly in place and has a bit of play (few mm). Whats best to sort it out. Some superglue? Araldite?

I'd probably use silicone mastic window sealant round the edge of it.

I'd then probably be disappointed when I found the acaetic acid in the sealant had made the silver stuff on my mirror corrode after a couple of months. I don't know if this would happen or not, but I am free and easy with silicone mastic and probably use if for too many things I shouldn't. It IS designed to hold glass windows in their frames though.
