Spent considerable amount of time and $$ in locating then upgrading the two side door mirrors. They now look very nice, but any amount of road vibration allows the glass to move around in the frame. Can't see what's behind me very well. Bought new glass from AA and also obtained the best to be found gaskets. After 45+ years they aren't as supple as new. What to do ???

I can see that it could be a mount issue, but I'm betting that the piece that should be holding the mirror is not doing it's job. I would think that if there really was amount issue you could tell if it was loose. Perhaps the gasket on the mount has hardened? I'd be happy to throw you one if you think that's it.
