Rearview mirror rattle?

[007GTCS]

Has anyone ever had their rear view mirror mount rattle?
At first I thought it was my Automater gauge pod. But it turns out, every time my cams hit on cold start. Or about 1000 rpms. The metal on glass mount rattles. I can stop it by pressing down with my thumb. Anyone ever seen/heard of this before?

Mine rattles between the 2 halves of the actual mirror while I'm driving. I grabbed the mount and it still rattled, just touch the mirror and it stops.

Unfortunately it's inside the mirror mount, not something that can be easily tightened.

On my Bullitt I bought an auto darkening mirror from another person. When trying to remove my stock mirror (which rattled) I ended up breaking the windshield after fighting it for an hour. Thankfully in Florida windshield replacement coverage is mandatory and included on every auto policy with 0 deductible. I went over to Safelite and they replaced my windshield and even let me plug in the new mirror before installing the new glass.

Be aware the tab to release the mirror is almost impossible to trip. The easiest solution is a hammer, unfortunately.

Mine used to rattle on my '12... removed the mirror from the mount, put a small felt pad on the inside of the mirror and no more rattle.

Mine did after a new windshield. Just had to get it pushed down all the way.

get a thin (like 1/8" diameter) but large, maybe 1" to 1-1/2" diameter o-ring.
Cut it in half
stretch it out so it becomes thinner
place between mount and windshield
trim as needed

did this to mine like 2 years ago and no more rattles. Super cheap

Awesome, thanks for the info everyone! I have windshield insurance as well. But yeah just curious if anyone had dealt with it before. Love this site for that reason!
