Hey CL,

Ive been trying to figure out how to fix this little issue for the last 5 days or so and i have been unsuccessful. I recently got a system installed and the bass from my 12" sub keeps moving the rear view mirror. IS there a way to make the rearview mirror tighter and less likely to be moved easily? Its really annoying and is also a safety hazard. I do admit that the mirror does bounce up and down a little bit when music is being played, but i would rather have it being bounced up and down a bit, than having it completly move down so i cant see traffic behind me. I constantly gotta keep resetting my rear view.

So far my only solution is to listen to music with less bass, but thats no fun. defeats the purpose of getting a system. Any help would be much appreciated!

Any suggestions CL?

THANKS!

Wow that is no good.

I only have the problem of mirror vibrations, but that's not really the biggest issue for me.

The biggest safety issue for me i I have the maximum allowable tint and I find it's difficult to see cars in my rear and side view mirrors at night.

I also think the rear "pillar" makes it somewhat difficult to clearly check the blind spot in this car.

I get mirror vibrations and thats not a big problem. I feel you with the tint, mines not the darkest shade though. I kinda regret having my back window tinted, but in the summer i don't becuase my car doesn't get as hot.

When i play music i don't no why the mirror goes down by itself. Its really annoying. I wish there was a screw to just tighten into place.

There is a ton of info in this site for the vibrating mirror issue. Do a quick search and you'll see there is a TSB. Not sure if having an aftermarket audio set up will affect what a dealer does for you or not, but it's a start.

Well the vibrating issue isnt the problem. Its the fact that the mirror tilts all the way downward becuase of the bass.

If it's falling downward, it sounds broken. Does it also fall down when you go over bumps or drive for a while w/o music on?

No its fine when i drive with the music at a very low level. The only time it falls completely loud is when i turn the music up. The Bass knocks down the mirror. I was reading up a TSB becuase of the sunroof causing the rv mirror vibrations. Should i call up lexus and see if they can replace it with a new mirror. My cars still under warranty, its a 2009. I just want a firmer mirror thats not gonna fall downard on me when im on the freeway listing to my music.

if its a 2009, then it already has the new mirrors. i dont think the tsb will apply

I think there's a newer TSIB that installs the IS-C mirror... that's the one I got.
