    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...

    I was going to suggest RTV but assumed the switch travel would be too much. Didn't think of cutting it after it cures tho. Good call.

    if you really dont want the rear view mirror its easy to take off... 1/4 turn of the base and it slides out, then just unplug it... i found i use mine a decent amount now that i have no backseats... its useful to see whos coming up behind me in the other lanes

    Used some black gasket sealer and a whittled down toothpick. got it really good in all the way around both lamp buttons. Let it cure overnight and used the exacto knife on them. I had to give a squirt or two of silicone lube to get them moving smoothly again. So far so good! Played the worst offender on the way to work (Victor Wooten classic thump) and no buzzing. I am aalways going to keep some gasket sealer handy from now on.
