take your rear view off that's what i would recommend. i know my mirror rattled off my dad made me put it back on b/c i "need" a rearview mirror, the **** thing came off again in like 5 days. just take it down or wait for it to rattle off which wouldn't be too weird of a thing.

why not put dampening material on the top of the inside of the car? that should control some of the vibration coming from the subs. Another thing is damp your whole car, it will reduce rattles a lot!!!!

Have you tried some extra heavy duty glue? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

just add weight to the mirror ----that's all

hmm that might work...i already have a religious thingy hanging on it....i have a kinda heavy spiderman keyring...that might work

best to use lead fishing weights ----just glue them to the back of the mirror an make them look like part of it

well, is it the mount that is rattleing or is it the actual mirror? if its the actual mirror, the glass part, see if u can pop it out and shove some pipe cleaner in the top bottom and sides to make it stay in there tight. and if its the actual mount, i dunno, u might have to make a more steady brace for it, and if those dont work, just put up with it or take it off.
