Take it out. I think the law says you have to have side mirrors. Rearview is for pussies. Check your sides and your blindspots regularly.

how to deal with the horror of a rear view mirror shaking...
turn down the volume?
ignore it and stop being a wimp?
duct tape it?

pretty sure in my old car after it fell off it just started getting loose. I took it off one day and there where adjustment screws in it I think. After I put it on again tighter it moved a lot less

small dab of silicone on the mount, tighten it down.
silicone on the adjustment joints (only do this if you're the only one driving the car)

There's a reason it's shaking. I suggest turning down the volume or stop whining about it!!
