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.

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!!
