Rear View Mirror trembles!!!

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!

If you had done a search for "rear view mirrror" you would have found this:

There also is a sticky post at the top of the "Problems" forum that will link you to a list of the TSBs. There also could be helpful info on this subject in the 3G Garage (sticky post in the main forum). Welcome and remember: search and the 3G Garage are your friends!

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?

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?

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.
