#42877, "Rear-view Mirror"




          

2 Problems w/ the rear view mirror on my '99 GS:

1) I have a big stereo in the car, and the subs make the mirror vibrate so violently, I have to constantly adjust it. It usually winds up pointing straight down after a minute of loud music. Is there any way to tighten it down, OR isolate it from the vibration?

2) The mirror buzzes loudly during some low bass notes, and I believe it's the glass vibrating inside it's housing. Is there any way to tame this loud buzz? Someone suggested once when I had an old Honda to drill a small hole in the back of the mirror, and then use some kind of expanding foam (like spray insulation) to fill it. This seems awfully risky to me, because I don't want foam leaking out the sides around the mirrors, plus my mirror has the 2 map lights in it, and I don't want to screw up the wiring or anything. Any suggestions on how to kill the buzz?

Thanks for the help,
snuFFy
