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.

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