Replace the factory rubber gromets or remove them (mirrors) and glue thin rubber strips to the back of the mirror. Just my $.02

Magic,
Can you get the rubber grommets for a 91? A few of mine are shot and I would like to repalce them all with new. (Not wanting to hi-jack your thread here vincent).

and as a plumbing part they will most likely be neoprene with a longer life than the ones made out of a lesser rubber.
the rattle? It's the swim ladder cover, or the ladder itself, no doubt.
If it was the mirror (doubt highly) rather than the fuss of glueing rubber strips, just put whatever thickness o-ring you prefer over the screw on the backside of the mirror. A little less messy.

Shazam! you start to develop a rattle. Some more than others. Has alot to do with vibration and exhaust harmonics of any given boat.
I don't see why you couldn't install screwed down grommets of the right hieght that carried the wieght of the ladder. I just think with material replacement it's not necessary.
I went through the swapping "rubber bumpers" thing in order to get rid of a rediculously annoying rattle from the aluminum trash receptacle lid in the cockpit of my 353.
