Hey guys. Quick question here. My rear view mirror is loose and vibrates when im driving which really renders the mirror useless when driving/switching lanes. Ive taken the plastic cover parts apart and looked for any loose screws. nothing looked irregular. I reattached it but its still shakes despite everything feeling snug in place. any suggestions on how to fix this?

tx in advance!

I had a similar problem. Dealer replaced the actuator inside the mirror. There's a TSB on this somewhere.

Yes I went to the dealership today and picked up that spring thing for a buck and some change. the hard part is figuring out how to replace it. I wonder if theres a video on this?

Should have read my post in the first link posted here, same thing happened with me, lol. What a waste of $1.17.

Sorry for the thread revival but the TSB link has been taken down. I was wondering if there were any other visual aids on how to fix the rear view mirror shake?

The TSB links are still up. Follow the instructions at the top of the page in red!

I was about to do a search for this issue and found this on the first page. I guess too many years of bass has killed the mirror. It's useless even at low volumes.
