Actually, my driver's side mirror is "shaky" too. Anyone know where to get replacement parts in US?

Thanks.

Shaking is not a problem for which you need a replacement part. Just follow Andy's instructions and reglue the glass on the frame.

Sorry, I misspoke. It's the housing that's "shaky" not the mirror. For e.g. when I've adjusted it to the view that I want, it'll stay that way for a lil while, but as soon as I open or close the door, it loses it's position and "moves" towards the door (a lot).

Do I still need replacement parts?

Thanks.

Go to Andy Whittaker's site listed above and look at the mirror fix procedure. You probably just need to tighten the allen screw on the collar, but be careful as too much torque will crack the pot metal bracket. If it won't tighten, replace the bracket as shown in the procedure, a $20 part.
