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!

first one shows the mirror in 3 pieces.....i used a small screw driver to separated the 2 halves.....be careful the plastic is soft and will mark....the front half (the half with the buttons) snaps into the back half, there are many little tabs that can be pushed down as you separate the 2 halves
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!
