hi, anyone know of ways to stop the rear view mirror from rattling?
tried reinforcing the stem but still rattles. would like to take them off and try stuffing the mirror but do not know how to take down the mirror. anyone has any experience taking them down? am driving a proton blm. cant stand the mirror vibrating already really disrupts the music when bass kicks in

so my best bet is to rid the roof of rattle and the mirror will follow suit? or is there a more direct way of killing the rattle of the mirror like putting sound deadening materials inside the mirror instead of the roof?

1) If the glass rattling & coz of noise, try apply silicone sealant around the glass & casing...

2) If the stand rattling & coz of noise, try apply double tape at stand plate & screw it back tightly..

you just need to take the mirror out from the holder....not the whole rear view mirror...


behind the mirror got a screw to adjust the fitness to the holder.

howie, you mean i need to take off the green screw only to get to the glass? i tried unscrewing the green screw but feels like nothing is loose so i put it back in, do i need to pry the covers open? i tried puling the red part towards the arrow but dont seem to be able to take it down.

take it out from front lor..tongue.gif

slowly start from 1 side, use a thin but rigid plastic plate to peel the plastic around the corner. those plastic are not that hard, peel slowly till 1 side is out then it will be easy...
