Default Does Your Rearview Mirror Shake?

So the other day I noticed my rear view mirror shaking like mad. On the freeway it was so bad that I started to get a headache while looking at it. I tried taking it in to the dealership, but they tried to convince me that all Lexus vehicles do that. Having owned other Lexus vehicles in the past I know that to not be true... but that's a whole other story.

Anyway, I'd like to see if anyone else has noticed their mirror shaking or if I'm in fact the only one with this issue. Please vote on the poll as I will be using this data when I go back to Lexus. Thanks.

You need another choice, "Yes, and it doesn't bother me."

It only vibrates when the tunes are cranked up (which is pretty often), but that's a small price to pay.

Only when volume is more than 30, with bass +3.

Otherwise, no problems.

Mine seems to do it the most when I am on the highway...driving over 60-65 miles per hour. Does anyone know of a way to hold it in place??

Do we really need a poll for this? I think this issue's been discussed in at least two previous threads already.

Cool

Haven't noticed this yet.

On another note, my whole ES330 shook when the windshield wipers were going full blast if I was stopped at a light. That drove me up the wall.

Yes, my rearview mirror shakes on occassion, but only due to the bass from the stereo.

Stick some Dynamat on the back of it to absorb some shock. Hehe

Yup the ML system shakes it quite nicely. To fix the shaking turn off your radio.
