Mirror shaking...

Just had my power mirror on the driver side replaced, but now it seems to vibrate, whereas when I look at my passenger side it is solid. Now not the whole mirror assembly is shaking, just the mirror part.... it's rather annoying, and it never did that before, thank you to the douche bag that hit my car, now my mirror vibrates when I'm driving down the road. Tried to tighten it up, but no good... any ideas?
 
there are a couple of clips that hold the mirror onto the motor assembly. Some of those could have been broken.

But the best way to know for sure is take the mirror assembly apart and what is going on. It's 3 8mm bolts on the inside of the door and then some small Torx bits underneath and on the inside of the base. That will loosen the motor and stuff and allow you to see the back side of the mirror. It's actually quite easy to take apart.

If you need something, try the junkyard or let me know. I have a few mirrors sitting here that I could take apart.

Maybe if the weather gets nice again I'll take a look, thanks!
