    Another silly audio question, My Rearview Mirror Lamp Switches Vibrate

    My rearview mirror lamp buttons vibrate like crazy! I have eliminated almost all other stray rattles/buzzes besides this one. Right now I have some electrical tape on them, but It looks shabby. Has anyone else addressed this problem? what were your solutions?

    HMMM - black duct tape???

    Seriously tho, no. They're probably not serviceable without popping the glass out of the mirror. Before knocking your head against a brick wall trying to find a cure, try to locate a replacement.

    Well the "cure" would be to turn down my sub, but that ain't gonna happen! Those lamps come in handy sometimes, otherwise i'd just pull the mirror. Seriously, what other practical use does it have? It just reduces forward visibility in my book.

    you can see if someone is tailgating you.

    it also helps to get you through inspection.

    Good points both, guess its safe from me removing it after work >.> So no one else who has a sub in their VX has had this problem? It is quite noticeable especially when there is a bass heavy passage (bass guitar solo, Cello and double-bass passages)

    You COULD dab a bit of clear or black silicone caulking or gasket maker into the gap between the mirror housing & the switches.
    Then wipe the excess off with your finger tip, cleaning between wipes with a paper towel.
    Let it cure for 24 hrs & score gently around each switch with a sharp ex-acto knife so theyll move again.
    This is all theory of course...

    Well i place in two 600 watts subs in my VX & i never had that issue.

    I gues you'll have to ended up removing the rearview mirror if you have no solution.,But it will be my last choice,somehow that mirror do some sort of his "job"
