Mine does that too.

I thought I'd fix it when it came off in my hand one day. I put one dab of epoxy and four dabs of silicone sealer just like what it came with.

Still does the wobble thing.

I want to take my mirrors off to paint them body color. Does any one know how to get the mirrors off the car? Anyway while their off I'll check to see if I can fix it. And if it works I'll let you guys know what I did.

Both of my f-bodys have had the driver mirror shake, it's odd that the passanger one doesn't do it though.

Cuz the Driver's door gets alot more slammin than the passenger. Same goes for window motors. Its almost always the drivers that goes first.
