Oh hell yes! Those stock pig iron rods are flat useless. They simply have no "spring" in them and once you take off the mirror they won't work again. I snapped the mirror on and the wiggle was gone immediately.

Get the stainless steel pins and fix the issue with the ability to take the mirror off and put it on as many times as you need.
Fix it properly and forget about it.

Vibrating mirror fixed
I called my dealer and they do not service the pins separately.
Like several others here, I took out the bent pins and used a vice to straighten them. Reinstalled and I have no more vibration.
About a 15 minute fix that gets rid of a very aggravating problem.

I've done the same a few times. 15 min once a year is no big deal. Lasts longer if you never have to adjust the mirror !

Well, you can re-straighten the pins as many times as you like and then you can put up with the vibrating mirror annually or you can get the stainless steel spring pins from Greg and be done with the whole mess. I straightened them twice and the mirror kept vibrating. Screw that....

Got my new pins from Greg and got the mirror re-installed. Thanks to all for the help! 
By the way, it takes a T6 Torx driver.
