  • Rear view rattle

    I'm sure that I am not the only one that has a problem with the rear view mirror falling as the bass hits...any suggestions on how to fix it?

    in a lot of them there is a screw on the underside of the mirror. if these do not have one i am not sure. there must be some way of tightening though.

        Seriously, there is no "real answer." It is the nature of the beast... Apparently you have an after market system! Black electrical tape can help, glue, etc...

          i disagree with that. the mirror in my truck has never once come loose or angled down. it would vibrate like hell with my old system, but it never changed the position permanently.

            I had this problem in my eclipse. I just dealt with it. But if you want i would suggest alligning it to where you want it and put a little drop of super glue or something like that. I would definitely just do enough to hold it in position. By only placing a little drop it should be enough to keep it from rattling out of position but weak enough that you could pop it loose. Ive seen it done, but be cautious it could turn into a sticky situation

                I had the same exact problem with my G6 when I first got my system installed, so I took it to the dealer and they replaced the screw, and I have'nt had a problem since.

                  If there is a screw just put a little bit of locktite on it and tighten it up.

                    Yea so I've pretty much given up on trying to look out of my rear view mirror. If I try....all I see is a big vibrating blur of light. I guess my system is just that good haha. joke.

                        I know right? The G6ers have SO MANY blind spots...
                        maybe thats just because I ride like a gangsta though? I don't know.

                          reminds me of when i first got the car... i was driving along and my rear view mirror looked like it was gonna fall off.. then i turned a corner and it fell off and wailed me in my leg

                          I was pissed, but come to find out it wasn't put back on all the way when the window tinters took it off!! I would have been mad if I had to take a trip up to the stealership like 2 weeks after I got my brand new car

                            My side mirror rattles as the bass hits. I just shoved foam tape. As for the rear view mirror. No clue. Consider changing it possibly that can be tightened?

                              I have noticed when it is warm the mirror will drop no matter what but tightening the star key screw will do wonderes. I haven't had any problems lately with mine dropping and I am always bumping. If you hear a little rattle on the inside of the mirror as well you can fill the mirror with silicone.
