[QUOTE="delawhere 23, post: 13842298, member: 157602"] Couldn't find much on the internet about fixing the rattle in the rear view mirror. Some suggested going to dealer and having fixed under warranty, but did not work for all. I think I found the solution. My mirror was rattling bad on the highway and while listening to a lot of bass (small subwoofer in trunk). I can see the subwoofer making it rattle, but normal cruising on the highway... unacceptable. Narrowed the rattle down to where it is mounted on the windshield and not the ball joint. I used some simple rubber O-rings that I had on hand and pushed them in between the mirror housing and windshield glass. See pics below.
