I have the mirror with all the buttons and it does the same thing.
I have no idea as to how to correct it.
I would also love suggestions.

Mine is really tight. If I want to reposition the mirror it feels as though I might crack the glass. I have called Gentex support in the past back before the install, and received good reponse. I have no idea what the real fix is, and I have no supporting data, but you might try twisting the mirror clockwise/counterclockwise to see if it will loosen or tighten the ball mount mechanism,

yea maybe i'll try rotating it............. I don't have the Gentex, I have the OEM. It seems the more I screw with it, the worse it becomes. I've been looking all over the web with no answers - very frustrating! I love the home link feature, but if it gets any worse, I'll have no problems scrapping the damn thing! Thx guys.................any1 else?

scrapping it is an option, but before you do, sguirt some lok-tite in there and put it in your driving position. Should stop the vibration and any other movement.

lol...............yea, lok-tite should do the trick. My wife drives the stang maybe 6 times a year, so mirror adjustment is redundant. Kewl, I'll try that as last resort. thx meng!
