Default Rear View Mirror Question

Just had my windshield replaced - now the rvm seems to have a little play or vibration in it... Any ideas--is there a way to tighten the mirror where it mounts to the swivel/mounting ball? Thanks

You have a problem. Your rvm has been removed and then re-installed on the windshield cam system. That crappy rear view mirror cam system design now has either bent rods or other worn parts which
explains the play and vibration you have. Please refer to this thread for more info:

The glass company had to buy a new mirror for me upon replacement of the windshield for the same situation. Kind of a one-time deal on the mirror unless you are careful and know how it is really attached.

Thanks guys -- the referenced thread covered the topic. Appreciate the help I'll try to fix it myself before I buy a new one -- very poor design!
