Default Rearview mirror TSB

For those who got their rearview mirror replaced due to the vibration issue TSB, how bad was it? Mine definitely vibrates when I have the volume turned up (starting around 20), but it's not too bad. At any rate, I'm thinking of going to the dealership and having it replaced. Thanks.

I had mine replaced...the vibration doesn't really go away, however, it doesn't feel as loose as it was before. Before the TSB I had to adjust the mirror constantly to get it right, but after the repair I haven't touched it.

Plus 1. Had it done last month and it's an improvement, but still goes haywire on the highway with the sunroof open. Probably the most annoying thing for me and this car, since I don't use A/C and the roof is always open. I've just accepted it as is and life goes on.

+2. Had mine done a year and a half ago, and although it did help some, it does still vibrate.

Like the others, I've just learned to live with it.

This sums it up. It stiffens things up when adjusting, but the vibration will still be present.

No it's the actual glass mirror that vibrates, not the black casing that hold it in place.

And yeah like others have said even after the TSIB, the mirror still rattles. I usually keep the volume pretty high and in warm weather, windows down and sunroof open
