Your pins are probably bent and need straightening

Rather than just straightening the pins, which are mild steel, take a 5/64 drill bit (you'll need three of them), cut them off at the same length as the pins using a Dremel tool or similar, and install them in the same recesses as the pins were. Being tempered steel, the bits will not bend (as easily) and the mirror should retain its position without shaking a lot longer.

Cheap fix...
Do a search on the Forum on this and you'll find a few threads detailing how to take a simple pink eraser ("Pearl") -- .79 each in most stores -- and shoving it up between the windshield and the rear view mirror stalk.
You can go simple and take the eraser right out of the package and shove it up; basically putting a "shim" to stop vibration. I cut off the slanted ends to form a little pink rectangle. I then take Gorilla Tape (black) to cover the eraser. This not only helps hide it (it's black...) but also helps keep the "shim" up-tight against the windshield and stalk. (Over time, it could creep down.... you'll know... the mirror will start shaking again!)
