Default Side Mirror Perfection

Hello all, I'm wondering if anyone has a similar issue and what they did to fix it. I have a Lariat with the power adjust and heated outside mirrors. My drivers side lens tends to wiggle around with the wind at higher speeds. Also, they both have water spots around the edge of the lenses. Is there anything I can do to fix these without taking the door panel off and removing the whole mirror?

The actual mirror is pretty cheap to replace. Someone clipped mine and cracked the plastic housing as well. The plastic wasn't cracked too bad so I just replaced the mirror ($25 or so from the dealership) but it has wobbled ever since. If it's a big problem for you, maybe upgrade to some tow mirrors at the same time. They can be found for around $260 for a pair if I recall.

I don't have any tricks to stop the wobbling though. I just live with it because I know I have to replace the entire assembly if I want it to go away.
