    Default Rear view mirror rattle

    Hey guys i tried searching but came up empty, I just installed a couple speakers and a sub into my 2011 Mazda 3 hatch and whenever the bass gets loud my rear view mirror rattles like crazy..can't drown it out either since it gets worse the stronger the bass gets.. Anyone have any tricks or solutions to fixing this?

    it's only there if you have a home link/auto dimming mirror
    the stock mirror is just clipped in... there's not a whole lot you can do except for seeing if an aftermarket mirror will be better
    otherwise, you'll have to live with it or turn it down

    I've read online that you need to stick a flat head screw driver to unlock the rear view mirror but theres a small box right in front of the mount. Any techniques to getting that mount off?
