anyone have any ideas on how to stop the rear view mirror from vibrating into down position....everytime i look in my rear view all i can see is my back seats from the bass.
 


I dont mean to sound like a jackass, but this is like the third or fourth thread Ive had to move today alone. We need to pay attention to where we are posting up at and make sure it is in the appropriate location.

sorry man...i clicked audio my comp must have lagged then clicked this by accident. :th_shakinghead1: and by no means do u sound like a jack ass.
 
Every vehicle I ever had did it. I have thought of many ways to stop it but never tried any of the ridiculous ideas in my head. Can't really help ya out here.
 
dude its drivin me nuts...i have never had it vibrate down this bad...it basically vibrates down til it wont go down anymore....i guess get it to my standards and super glue the b1tch lol...i know in my head i will "never" sell my car so i guess thats the only option :D
 


I have superglued mine before but it didnt last but 2 days before moving again. I always thought of taking the mirror apart and putting some rubber cement or plastidip in the mirror hole and letting it dry so there would be a rubbery gription but never have done it yet. :th_scratchhead:
 
yeh at one point u just have to decide to say fock it when u have ur system on lol cause im not super gluing mine lol

fock it...i dunno about u but i need my rear view mirror...when its pointing at my back floorboard it does no good.and im def not gettin rid of my subs
 
Atleast your mirrior is staying on. Mine keeps popping off the window from the bass. Finally said the hell with it and just left it off.
 


mine vibrates, but doesn't move (never had one that did even in the van it stayed where I wanted it) check for set screws sounds like the ball socket is loose
 
remove the rear view mirror, its not regulated to be there by the NHSB, you only need 2 rear facing mirrors.

If its always pointing at the floor just rip it off and no more problems

local laws may change that though, some areas you have to have it (that's why you'll see the cube vans with them)
 


They must have 2 rear facing mirrors, one of which must be on the left side. Thats federal vehicle code. Ive owned cars that were never equipped with seat-belts and been thru the court system for years with new cops enforcing new laws on grandfathered vehicles. However, While the court fights were going on I read alot of vehicle codes. From federal down to my local town.

I am very happy to figure this out as soon as I have his local town so I can read the local ordinance. SC state law is the same as federal law.
 
I have dealt with it in several states, if it came with a mirror it must remain regardless of what is added. All you have to do is ask at the police department
 
What states, ive been thru alot of em both east and west coast as well as the midwest and have never had an issue with the windshield mounted RVM.

I ripped one of them off while the cop was talking to me about a crack in it, said it was a obstruction of view, I invited him to look thru the front window from the driver seat, he agreed the RVM was a bigger obstruction of view then a vertical crack was. I ripped it off.

I find it funny that we let cops get away with whatever they want. You dont need a RVM, side views when adjusted right give you the same field of view that the hi mount RVM does.
 
in GA they can write it, in a few other states (I have been to every state except Alaska and Hawaii) my passenger mirror is almost useless around here for people behind me since it being a convex it won't show the tailgater (they allow you to be less than a half a car length away in Alabama) also realize the laws are not written by the police, they are enforced by them
