Default Rear View Mirror Vibration

My rear view mirror shakes / vibrating during freeway speed. Every now and then, it vibrates badly that I can't even make out the headlights behind at night. Normal for you guys?

I only get this with the audio on pretty loud. I assume your audio is off?

I get that sometimes but like everyone said, only with audio on. I would say tighten it up if you want, there is only one torx screw for the mirror so itd be a quick tighten

I have the same issue - audio on or off. Would you please post if the tightening helped? I'll try that on my car when I'm home next.

Curious whether any of you got the TSIB upgrade for this and whether it's helped?

I did and I was the first to get it done for a 2009. It helped immensely.
