Homelink on mirror

To those lucky owners out there, how do you feel about the homelink on the rear view mirror? In my mind, activating the homelink requires a good deal of prolonged pressure that would move the mirror. Does this hold true? Do you have to hold the mirror so it doesn’t move?

The buttons on the mirror - no issue at all. Buttons do not need to be held on any of mine.

Yes, I normally grip the entire mirror to open/close garage door. It wouldn't be the only make where I had to do that.

Not really an issue for me - I don't have to grip the mirror very hard to hold it in place when hitting the Homelink button - it seems like I could probably get away with not having to hold it at all but I don't really have a lightness of touch in any button-pushing situation. When I type you can hear my keyboard clicking from several states away.

it's fine for me. the mirror is sturdy and does not move when I press the buttons. They press in very easily, not a lot of pressure is needed.

I amd not a fan, but tolerate it. Wife’s RDX was that way as was my old M37S Infiniti. Never found it to be an issue with the mirror moving.

Yeah, that is a negative, Feels less natural, more likely to move the mirror or get prints on it and it feels less luxury overall. If I wanted a Chevy, I'd buy a Chevy.

I have never moved the mirror in pressing the homelink button. either in my TLX, or my 14 Altima I used to have. I prefer it there vs the overhead panel.

Agree, I have never moved my mirror either. I grab the top of the mirror with my fingers and squeeze the button at the bottom with my thumb. Easy to do and no problems.

I just use my index finger with minimal contact with the mirror itself. But, I’m indifferent to its location.

I had the same "frameless" rear-view mirror in my MDX. I must say it's probably the best-looking rear-view mirror of all the cars I've had, regardless of make.
