05 Tacos - Side view mirrors vibrate?

spindrome · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-2005, 02:20 PM

Hi all -

did a search and couldn't find anything so I thought I'd post this.

Both my side view mirrors vibrate at highway speeds. It's definitely not the housings themselves. Maybe the mirrors just aren't securely fastened.

Anyone else experience this?

I see a little bit of it on my driver side mirror. I think slight amounts of vibration is normal.

Does any one who has a passenger seat that vibrates?

They buzz in the winter when the temp's below freezing. First time it happened, I thought I had blown the door speaker because I'd only hear the buzz when the bass thumped. It took me awhile to realize it was the side view mirror. I think some ice freezes in there and causes the buzz. All I had to do with swivel the mirror housing back and forth once and that took care of it.

No, I've never seen any vibs in mine.

I wonder if you have a front tire that's slightly out of balance and causing the vibration? I'd have it checked out before you have uneven wear on the tire.

yea, i thought of that too. i dont think it' s the case tho, since I'd feel my steering wheel vibrate as well, right?

thanks for the replies everyone, except for the couple of thread jackers...

Dang I love my new tunes . . . heh heh,

Take it back to the dealership. If I have ANY problems I take it back right away to get the problem logged. I am glad I have not had to take mine back . . .
