Driverside mirror
Does anyone have a problem with there driverside mirror being over sensitive to bass in the door speaker :confused: I had the dealer replace mine but it does the same thing. If I have the music up about 1/2 way or more the mirror vibrates so bad you can't even see out of it. The pass. side is not as bad. I would say it is normal for the amount of bass coming out of the stock system.

Re: Driverside mirror (FLvette)
Do you have a stock stereo system????? I wish I could get enough base to make things vibrate! :rolleyes:
If you have a stock system I would check the following:
Make sure the mirror is properly attached to the mirror adjustment mechansim. Compare the left mirror to the right mirror. See if the right one has more slop than the other. If so I would take it back to the dealer and see what exactly it was that he replaced. He may have only replaced part of the mirror i.e. the mirror motor assembly and used the same mirror. If it had bad adustment pin, (the part that the motor assembly moves in and out) the bad part is still in place. The old C4 mirrors had small trunion bars that went bad. You could replace the motor assemblies all day and if you didnt replace that 98 cent part, the mirror would still vibrate.
I never had a C5 mirror apart but I would see just what they replaced and start from there.
Good luck!
