Default Annoying rearview mirror issue.

My rearview mirror shakes like a child having a seizure every time i open the moonroof at freeway speeds. I like having it open, but it's just a headache looking in the rearview mirror for lane changes.

anyone else have this problem?

Is the music up? The only time my rearview mirror shakes is when I have my music up high. You should bring it to the dealership if its not music.

I have a 2009 and I noticed the same thing the other day... at 70mph, it shakes so bad I'm scared it's going to fall off. I contacted the dealership and they said that's just the way it was b/c of the resonance and the (poor) design of the car. Now, if you can tell me what the creaking noise is in my back window area, that would be appreciated. I've already had the dealer remove the factory clips that they thought were the cause.

There is a newer fix to this. I waited to have mine fixed because I was not impressed with the previous fix. I went and had mine changed last week and they gave me the new fix which is a differently styled mirror. I took my IS on the freeway and at about 100mph there was only minor vibrating. I am very happy with the outcome as I have been in IS's with the previous fix and it wasn't worth my time. In case it matters I drive an 06 IS350.

Even with the tsb it still shakes, but its significantly less. It shortens the length of the mirror though.
