Broadway Mirror shaking with factory mirror?

So I recently just picked up my brand new Frs. I noticed after I put the Broadway mirror on top of my factory mirror it vibrates and shakes while I drive. Has anyone else experienced this issue or could I have a faulty mirror?

Are you driving on a smooth road?

Lol yea. I use to have a broadway mirror in my old cars as well and drove on bumpy roads but it didn't vibrate or shake the way this does.

It could just be the nature of the car since this car has a really stiff suspension

Maybe your mirror isn't tight enough (the Broadway I mean). I drive some pretty bumpy roads and it does vibrate a bit but nothing super crazy.

I have the same issue, the broadway mirrors don't get a full grip on the factory one, so it shakes even sometimes fall out.

You were correct. It was loose i pushed it more against my factory mirror and it got better. Still shakes a little but not as bad as before. Thank you for your input.
