I did notice my swivel is very loose, but i felt it was the vibration in the arm part of the mirror that caused it. I guess one causes the other.

I didn't have to run solid mounts, just mine were really worn out so I just gave it a try rather than buy new ones.

I don't mind the overall noise in the car except for this part. it's pretty violent. actually, if the rattle was constant, i might not mind it as much, but it comes and goes depending on the RPM. highway cruising at 3k doesn't make the noise. just constant shifting on local roads sound gets annoying.
