I think it is supposed to take a couple days for the adhesive to really set. Especially with the cold. But I ain't too sure it's supposed to rattle.

SHouldn't rattle. When my wishield was replaced it wass fine, the car smelled like glue inside for a day, but thats about it. Is the mirror on good? DOn't really know what it could be besides a crappy job.

Usually it takes the adhesive to settle in, and in most cases, the sounds should be gone within a day or two. Don't quote me on that though.

Mine didnt rattle, but, it did leak the first time it rained. My car was 3 months old at this point. Needless to say, I was pissed

it shouldn't rattle at all. There is no such thing as the adhesive taking a couple of days to settle in. That is one of those things that people have been saying for so long that i think the installers have actually started believing it.

After I got mine replaced I'm starting to hear wind noise......I'm taking it in to have them check the seals and trim around the windshield.....

arent they suppose to be stuck/tight on the there...I can left the rubber and move the trim piece a little..it has some give to it....I'm assuming this is the cause since the side with the wind noise is a little looser than the other.
