Default How to fix???: Loose / shaking driver side mirror >>>

It's been getting worse over the last few weeks. The mirror vibrates like crazy when under-way, especially with bass heavy music.

The passenger side mirror is, in comparison, rock solid. It's to the point now that I almost can't make things out in the driver mirror at 40+ MPH.

So, is this a DIY fix, or a dealer visit?

Thanks!

Default It could be that one or more of the clips are broken for some reason.

You can try pushing (firmly, but carefully) on the center of the mirror and see if it pops into place. If not, I'd say it sounds like you'll need to take it in and have the dealer pop off the mirror and take a look at it.

Similar symptoms? Did the dealer give you any $hit about fixing it?

Ditto. A no hassle replacement.
