Default 08 IS350 Rearview Mirror TSIB

Can i use this TSB L-SB-0072-09 for my 2008 is350 for rearview mirror fix? is it applicable? The mirror doesn't vibrate that much on opened sunroof but it vibrate when music volume is high. Since my warranty is going to expire soon i want get it fix if it is applicable.

Anybody has a copy of TSIB?

Thanks.

If you're under warranty then you should be able to have the TSIB done no problem. I had it done about a year ago - it's a minor improvement.

Is it applicable to 2008? I think it is for 2006-2007 only. somebody please confirm.

Thanks.

I've had it done on my 2008 so it's certainly applicable.

What do they do when they fix it, replace it with another newer version mirror? I have an 07 but no moar bumper to bumper warranty, just power train. Would it be applicable to my car?

They replace it with a newer, Gentex mirror. If you're out of your bumper-to-bumber/CPO warranty, you aren't entitled to any free TSIBs (note: recalls are different).

So if you have your CPO warranty and are out of the original 4 years/50k bumper to bumper warranty. You can still get the TSIBs done for free?

Yes, it applies to 2008. Had mine done and it's quite livable now. New style mirror too.

I thought 07s where out of bumper to bumper warranty. How did you get yours done?

Is there a way to tell if the mirror has already been replaced?
