Usual vibration culprits are tires that are out of balance (or physically out of round) or a driveshaft vibration. Tire imbalance is like the shakes. Driveshaft vibration is more like sitting inside my wife's electric "back massager."

That's what I figured for the steering wheel, But I know my mirrors and really lose, I can touch the mirrors and they wobble all around.

take off the door panel

along with the mirrors you will more than likely find all types of things to put a wrench on

go to one of those muffler-suspention places and tell them you need an estimate

they will tell you if you have any worn suspention issues

check the driveshaft by actually taking it out of the car and twisting and turning on the u-joints

tires- I think you can figure that out

It's just the glass itself, not the whole mirror assembly. That's my main concern.
