Mirror Shaking

My driver side mirror rattles when i listen to music with the bass up. It is more of a rattling shaky almost as if it was loose. However the passenger side mirror doesnt shake/rattle. Is there anything I can do to eliminate this.

From what I have read on here it's just the way the mirror is. Like how the mirror is held in the housing and mounted to the adjustment motors. (power mirrors). Mine vibrates, along with my rear view, and to some extent the passenger too

Is it just the mirror part itself? or is it the whole housing for the mirror? My mirrors themselves vibrate all the time when I have my music turned up, and I only have stock non-pioneer speakers.

I listen to funk music. There's a Prodigy song that came on the radio that makes the mirrors go absolutely nuts though. I think it was Firestarter.

The drivers side mirror is going to be looser - how many times you open / close your drivers door as opposed to your passenger door?

And the way these plastic marvels of modern engineering are literaly "snapped" together - I can't say I'm surprised they vibrate

Not unless you can think of a way of bracing the mirror without losing the ability to move them. I'm pretty sure to stop it you would have to fix it permanently in one position.
