Default Side mirror shake

I have an 2000 with 42,000 miles and have noticed that both side mirrors have gotten some "play" when in the normal locked position. It is slight, but drives me crazy because I notice it most out of the corners of my eye.

Its not the mirror piece itself being loose, it is actually the entire mirror housing that pivots.

I guess I'll just live with it, since I'm come to realize that Honda can build a 35,000ish dollar sports car, but they can't service one properly.

i think that is normal i guess, because mine does that when you shake it with your hands.. but doesnt shake when you drive.

My Integra mirrors had to be replaced under warranty. Everytime I washed the car I would move the mirrors forward and back to clean in the crevices real well. Over time (only a couple years), the friction material that keeps the mirror in the center position wore out and the entire mirror assembly became floppy.

I learned my lesson to keep the mirrors in the normal position all the time and reserve the breakaway feature for accidents.
