mirror ratting/shacking TOO MUCH!
i have 2 10" Pioneer subs in my trunk. and when it hits, the mirror rattles so much and creates a lot of annoying noise. is there any way to stop this? i've been considering dynamating my car, but i know thats really expensive, i went to car toys and they wanted $650 just for the trunk. is ther anything that will just stop the mirror from rattling or making so much noise?
Thanks in advance!

the second pic shows the front half and back side of the buttons....i spread the silicone on the bottom of each button.....spreading it into the recesses of the buttons and let it dry......
the third pic shows all the little plastic posts that support the mirror and card (there must be 25+ posts) ...i put a dab of silicone on each post and let it dry.........not too much, just a little dab...there are 2 posts that insert into the card.....too much silicone will make it harder to push back together (the q-tip in the pic is right over 1 of the posts)
snapped it back together and it sure made a big difference! no more mirror rattles!
