This part is a joke and Subaru should refund everybody's money who bought one including labour to restore the stock mirror. I've made this point to Subaru Canada and I intend to make it stick. It's n OEM supplied part covered by a full warranty and it is useless.
I am having my old mirror restored.
The source of the vibration is twofold: the windshield button spring clip won't hold the adapter plate firmly AND the mirror itself won't screw tightly into the adapter plate. You can tell by twisting the two separate components individually, they can be twisted in opposite directions!
Rear view mirrors are required to "pop off" by federal safety regulations (officially they must breakaway without injuring the body part that hit them) but this part will break away if you look at it wrong!
because they must be crash tested no modification can be made without US federal approval after Subaru proves the redesign complies with the regulations. You can imagine how keen Subaru is to get that done.
This part is made for Subaru by some aftermarket maker and they are all defective.
