Homelink Mirror

Mine is fine.

 

I'd say it's normal, the Homelink mirror is larger and heavier than the standard mirror so that's probably why you're noticing the vibration. There is a small set screw where the mirror attaches to the mount on the windshield, you can check to ensure that it's good and snug. Other than that all I can recommend is choose better roads and turn the volume down on your radio...

 

Mine does it when a song has heavy bass--never noticed it otherwise (rough roads, etc.). It's been discussed before, so you're not alone!

 

I've had Homelink / self-dimming mirrors in many previous cars, and never had this issue, so I'd say it's not normal (for most cars).

 

welcome to the club !! the whole car is loose and rattles!!

But that doesn't seem to worry Toyota, I wonder is the mid cycle refresh was released 2012 instead of 2013 because of so many complaints of quality?

 

Aplologies for doing the "dead-thread" thing but couldn't resist.

I don't feel it's normal either. I've had a Honda in the past to do it and it never got fixed/stopped/whatever. I've utilized the "heavier" auto-dimming/Homelink/compass/lights/etc for a number of years. Vibration is not an issue.

My 2012 V does "slightly" vibrate, like bnaccs says. Of course, in Richard Dawson's famous "The #1 answer is!": Dealer can't duplicate the problem. NOT a surprise since these pieces aren't cheap, and I did NOT buy the car from them.

The next step is to take the mirror down for "seeing what I can do" (another thread) and politely contacting the district manager (another thread) inquiring as to how much money was wasted in training the dealers' so called "3 Master Diagnosticians". (The only 3 in the middle Tennessee area and they ARE proud of it).

I know, rant, rant, rant....

Mine doesn't have that problem, but when I stare at the mirror, up close, I see a scary looking person, staring back.

 

I just wish it would dim when its suppose too. Driving at night is blinding from the cars behind me. The thing doesn't work!

 

No, but I have a vibration coming from the front passenger door cove over the speaker when there is any bass at all. I would love to fix this, but I fear I would damage the clips that hold the door panel on if attempted to fix it.
