what is that piece??? i noticed mine didnt come with one... I asked the dealer and they said i cant get one for free since "you need the part to replace it" without proof you I cant get a new one... BS

does it reduce vibration? my mirror shakes alot and moves if i launch my car - i mean accelerate quickly from a standstill........ haha dont worry i only launch it once every like 3 months weee vtec

ummm.. It's a rubber piece that goes between the mirror stem and the glass. I suppose it serves to reduce vibrations. Unfortunately if I crank the music it still shakes out of place.

mine goes straight down as soon as the first bass note hits. there seems to be a "sweet spot" that lasts about 5 minutes....but i still cant see anything
i knew this would happen, because even with the stock system, it still shook.

i havent gotten around to checking it out, but i plan on taking it apart and seeing what i could do. my friend glued his in spot, but i dont wanna take that route ><

You should put a washer under one of the rearview mirror screws to prop the mirror closer to the glass, and squeeze the rubber piece in there really tight. Mine is like this since I grounded my map light wire to that location. My mirror seats much tighter than it did stock.

try getting the Zoom CF mirror, it's an entire replacement. My stocker with the Broadway slip-over needs readjustment pretty often as well and I don't even have a system yet. I was looking into getting this mirror but I would lose my sun visors:

It's called the Wink Allview racing mirror. $80

Hey I have the same problem. It's only illegal if it's on the driver side.
