My old calais did the same thing, but the side mirrors were fine - they didn't vibrate. So keep an eye out of those instead!

If your centre mirror tips, maybe you can pull it apart, and put something sticky in the ball joint so it is a bit stiffer - it will still shake, but wont tip sideways!

yeah same issue mate, my side mirrors dont vibrate, i should look at something to stop the mirror tipping, i thought glue it straight, but that may cause more problems hehe

eh? what's that ..... ? (says the deaf man :ninja: )

hehehe *uses sign language*

Turn the music down.

The guys 200 metres down the road don't want to be able to sing your song.

If your stereo is that loud, it is also illegal!

When I turn mine up for shits and giggles (Very occasional) it only vibrates the inside mirror, it doesn't twist it around, and I know how solid my bass is, if you're twisting the mirror, turn it down!

Basically, it's not the car shaking thats doing it, it's the air movement. I can feel my sub moving all of the air in my car when it's up loud. But hey, my stereo is for me, not the guy driving infront/behind. SO TURN IT DOWN. I don't want to hear your music!

ok i had this same problem to in my 32, take the mirrors, i think 3 bolts, after there off look underneith your mirror and u should see a small cover, take it off with a flat screw driver.

once its off u will see a couple of screws tighten up as much as u can, as mine were loose as a whore.

    • Placing bets on my stock oem RB25 rods, orrrrrrr........? Β πŸ˜‚πŸ’€ for anyone interested, Insta is : @genuine_rb13 https://www.instagram.com/genuine_rb13?igsh=MTR5dGh4NWh0NHg3cA==
    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and thank you brother πŸ™πŸΌ jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! πŸ˜… every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't πŸ€™πŸΌπŸ˜Š Β  Β  Β 
    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
    • Yes, so it won't work for places with no photos on the net. I would have said that there are no photos of the inside of my house on the net, but....then I realised that my kids' parties would have had bazzillions of photos of the living spaces, kitchen etc put on insta and other shitmedia. So... you can see how insidious it is.
