Turn your music down.

failing that a calk gun full of space invader will do the trick

yes, like walkinshaw suggested, set the mirrors in the position that suits you, and fill them with sealant. let it set, and they will never vibrate again.

or loosen your seat bolts so that your seat vibrates at the same frequency as your mirrior. It will stop the mirror looking like it is shaking

either that, or tighten the screws that hold the mirror in place.

i'd go with the sealant.........

Just turn down the damn stereo. You cant have alot of bass and not have your mirrors moving even a little.....

as Rollin said, DONT fill your mirrors with crap, that would be terrible :(

So live with the mirrors vibrating. I do and people know how loud I have my system up at times.

"go baby go go... yeah we're right behind you!"

(edit) Just singing along to aptly-named Garbage. Kinda like this thread (meh, post+1 for me). Turn your stereo down, or 2x4 your mirrors. Repeat process on cranium
