Vibrating Rear View Mirror???

My rearview mirror vibrates so bad at speed that it looks like an earthquake coming up on me. Does anyone else have this issue??

Yes....I even get vibration at 5 mph. But then I ususally turn the bass down..and it stops

Just kidding...what speed are you at when it starts vibrating?

I am moving this to Problems & Fixes with a re-direct, if you don't mind. RMATIC, did you ask what the problem was and how they fixed it?

Well, i had some sort of valve issue if you saw my thread few weeks back, and he mentioned if there was anything else, so i told him, i have some really annoying rattles comming from my rear view. I located the problem myself, the rear view mirror is glued on, and theres this piece that is on the little connector, that was able to slide, cuase it wasent glued properly. lemme see what the receipt says

"inside mirrior and/or base-replace", i dont think they replaced it though, i think they just glued it back on properly.

My mirror did the same thing as RMATIC's pics. I slid the black piece up towards the headliner and the problem was solved. I do check it every once in a while.

Yea, the problem was that the piece was sliding, so i think they glued it down at the dealership.
