Side Mirror Rattle Fix

[MMMII]

For the last week or so I’ve been chasing down a rattle. Turns out it was coming from my drivers side mirror. Annoying AF with the window down. A couple of finger taps around the mirror would duplicate the rattle.

Didn’t find a post on our forum (I’m sure if I missed it someone will call me out, Ha!) but I hit up the JL forum and found THIS THREAD. Props to @Rhinebeck01 for the info!

My take was to hit two spots on the mirror (1 on top & 1 on bottom). So I took the mirror off the door, used some painters tape to tape along the seem (on both pieces), inserted the plastic trim tool to get a bit if separation (like the post instructed) and hit the inside lip with a drop of super glue.

Could tell immediately that the fix worked and an evening jaunt to my sons volleyball practice validated. So thought I would share in our forum in case anyone in the future does a search for “mirror+rattle”.

Not my pics but this post looked bare without any:

Awesome! And if it ever works loose, just another couple drops of glue.

Deciding now if I want to conduct a preemptive strike on the passenger mirror.

Probably will do tomorrow since it’s such an easy thing to take care of.

Thank you for posting this. My passenger side mirror is driving me bananas. I’ll look into this fix this weekend.

I've lived with this for 6 months. Its driving me nuts, looks like an easy fix. Thanks so much for posting your research for the rest of us!

What is the best product for this? Silicone, gorilla glue, CA glue? Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
