Default Inside Rearview mirror vibration '96

Anyone got a quick and easy solution to stop the shaking of the
inside RVM while driving, it really gets annoying on long trips!

When mine shakes I tighten the screw holding it to the roof. I put up with it for a while thinking the solution couldn't possibly be that simple. Probably explains the philips screwdriver found in the glove box when I bought it.

The inside RVM was a JOKE when they were mounting it. Go all the way and FIX IT FOR GOOD.

1.) Remove visors
-take off top
-remove plastic cover that are around the bolt holes for the top
-unbolt visors
2.) remove plastic trim on top of windshield

The RVM is attached to the piece of trim. Use a nut and bolt to connect them and tighten it without cracking the plastic.

If you want to go a step further, get some Dynomat and line the plastic trim.

I HATE THAT MIRROR!!!!

Default I had a screw loose--so did my mirror.

It kept working loose, so I used some blue threadlock on the screw threads. No more problem on my mirror!

Me, on the other hand:

That was the very simple fix for mine also.

Mine used to shake and fall down, out of adjustment when I hit a bums. I fixed it by using crazy glue on the swivel. Just swivel it down and put a little on it then swivel it up and put on some more. After it dries you can still move it to adjust (after it breaks free) and it feels like new just a little firmer.

How many points do you get for hitting bums? Are they worth more than say, hobos?

No, but for a buck they'll clean your windshield before the ambulance arrives

I've had one actually puke all over my hood once. You're better off to pay them NOT to touch your windshield.
