Inside Rear View Mirror Vibration

I have a 97 E320 and the inside rear view mirror has a vibration that I can't get rid off. There is apparently no set screw to tighten the inside rear view mirror. The ball and socket arrangment appears to have a pressure fitting system that is suppose to hold the mirror tight and not allow any movement. Evidently, this has worn out on my car's rear view mirror. Every time I go over a bump the mirror moves or shakes. Has anyone had any experience in this problem and what are the possible solutions. Thanks.

Hello
I have 1996 E320 , The interior rear view mirror is NOT repairable. ( took it a part and all the plastic taps are damaged ).
My question is, if I replace it with another used one,, does the new one has to be reprogrammed to match the remote fob frequency or it will work fine without farther mating?
Can some one help me please??????
Thank you all

I replaced mine, bought on Ebay and did not have to reprogram the remote fob frequency. It did not require further mating or anything.
