rear view mirror
let me first say I came from a Honda Ridgeline so exceeding 80mph wasn't a norm so at this speed, maybe its normal. I'm loving the G37x, however, I was wondering if anyone with the homelink rear view mirror sees a very significant vibration on the mirror when approaching and exceeding 80mph? it's very annoying to see all the cars blur, especially at night.
thanks for the input!

Not normal, but probably hard to diagnose. Road force balance all the tires, make sure the rims are not bent. Still could be a bad tire. If that is not the case, could be a driveline problem...driveshaft out of balance perhaps.

thanks everyone. car is 4 weeks old and alignment is perfect. haven't hit anything to cause any sort of drive train damage. Its a vibration that definetely resembles the same that the base causes, but I've made it a point to turn the music off and it will still vibrate, a very fine vibrate, the whole mirror isnt shaking but everything blurs. I'm thinking its just a defective mirror attachment and seems as though I should call the dealer based on your input.

I am having the exact same problem on a brand new 2010. The mirror itself is tight on the windshield and the mirror doesn't move readily on its armature so this is likely my solution as well. I will get them to look at it when I go in for my first oil change.
Thanks.

First, you need a tube of Silicone. Clear caulk type recommended.
Next, with the mirror removed, find the center line on the underside of the mirror. However if you are worried about scratches, you can open it from the top.
Next, insert a small flat head screwdriver into the attaching center line, and mildly rotate until the two pieces separate to create a gap.
Then apply small amounts of silicone on the four posts in the back, and let dry. (You can also use a hair dryer to speed up the process) Apply silicone on the face where the plastic touches the glass.
Reassemble, and clean up any silicone residue on the glass with a paper towel.

There's also a simple fix if you want to do it your self...if dealer refuses to provide replacement.

I figured I'd have it fixed at first service. There is something wonky about the rearview itself. It seems like the mirror doesnt sit as tight as it should in the housing.
