Mirror vibration

I just picked up a 2014 (new) Vantage Roadster and I've noticed that there is significant vibration in the rear view mirror when I'm driving. I test drove a coupe and there was no vibration at all but its very noticeable on my roadster. (To the point where I can't tell what type of car is behind me on bumpy roads) The dealer replaced the mirror with one from another car before delivery but the problem is still there (a bit better but still not good) Is this normal for all roadsters. Unfortunately this is the only one I have driven so I have no idea if that is true (seems like something that should not happen) or if it needs warranty repair.

Any other roadster owners have the same issue?

Front tire(s) are likely out of balance. Have them checked.

Drive another Roadster, they do vibrate more than a Coupe. The mirror mounting itself could be at fault. It all needs to be torqued correctly.
