Maybe another problem since the windscreen replacement.

Rear view almost useless at motorway speeds. It's as bad as my Vespa mirrors but considering that's a 300cc single, you'd expect it.

Vibration stops if I hold mirror but I can't feel the glass vibrate.

Any ideas folks. Ta.

My rear view mirror vibrates too. This is with the factory screen but it's worse when hot. There is a bit of play in the ball/socket which tightens up when cold.

Same thing?

Mine's the same, can't tell what kind of car is following you as the image is always blurred. I've spoken to a few people and they're all the same. I think its the mirror fitting itself rather than car vibration as the view in the door mirrors is always sharp. If anyone has a solution for this please share it.

Mines steady no more vibration than you'd get in any other car

Mine vibrates in standard orientation but when inverted it vibrates less. Better for taller drivers too as it lifts it up onto the head lining.

Mine too, I put it down to the uneven firing of the V8 and the awesome exhaust :D

Mine is the same, the rear view is like like looking at a 'big foot' video. [ame="[MEDIA=youtube]nvQ0Xf1qG6s[/MEDIA]"]

I'm guessing it might be that you've just never noticed it before, rather than due to new windscreen?

I don't notice mine usually when driving but it's very obvious when playing back any dashcam footage.

Mine tends to vibrate when the bass is too high :shrug:
Same, or volume too low, turns out it's not the mirror, it's the actual rear window according to an unfortunate soul who was in the back of my car and wanted me to turn the music all the way up... :lol:

no such issues on the 2017

It vibrates a lot when I turn the bass up though :D
