Default Drivers Mirror Vibration

Alright, i did a number of extensive searches on the forum to see if anybody else has had this same problemand how they fixed it. Since i could remember, my drivers mirror has had a slight vibration, so the mirrored image shakes a little bit when you're driving. The passenger side is fine. 6 months or so ago i test drove a 2dr JK Rubi for a day, and it also had the same problem.

One day i was driving and decided to put my hand on the mirror glass to see if that did anything, and it kept the mirror from vibrating and distorting the rear view..

So i was wondering if anybody else has had this problem and if/how they fixed it.

Yeah it's not too bad, but it's been noticable and gets annoying from time to time.. I also have a sub, and thats understandable when the whole Jeep is shaking, lol So it's not a bad problem, but just there.

It is the side mirror, not the rearview.

Check to see if its snugged up with the hardware on the inside of the Jeep if it is, then maybe you could wedge something behind the glass to keep it from vibrating.

I had the same problem with my driver's side mirror. I found there's a small metal piece behind the mirror that was bent and was supposed to push on the mirror to stabilize it. I unclipped the mirror (careful, the clips are plastic and easy to break) and bent the metal piece so it made contact with the mirror. It's been a steady vibration free view ever since.
