Rear View Mirror Rattling??? Help!!

Hey all

I installed my subs a couple of days ago. Everythings sounds awesome, except my damn rear view is rattling like a ***** ****a.

Has anyone else had this problem?? If so, how did you fix it??

I think its the connection right by the windshield that is a little loose.

Peace

Not much you can do but live with it. Mine has rattled since I got my subs over 10 months ago and it's still hangin in there.

Heh. My Eclipse has rattled from day 1, and that was only the upgraded stereo, nothing aftermarket.

The frequency just happens to be the resonant frequency of your car. It happens.
