I have a problem with my drivers side mirror. At any kind of speed at all the damn glass begins to rattle enough that I can't even see out of it. I heard there was a recall, and wondered if anyone could verify, or if anyone else had this problem?

There is another forum that focuses on body issues, etc. (look for "Exterior") Look over there and you will find some info/solutions. One guy put some foam behind the glass to stabilize it - mine are fine (for now).

I don't believe there is a recall - there is a TSB that informs techs that individual replacement parts are now available for this mirror and to not replace the entire unit if there are issues with the motor, etc.

I have the same issues with both mirrors. One as so bad I took it in and the jackoff stealer tried to accuse me of hitting something with it!!! IF someone has a copy of the bulletin that'd be great . . . so I can shove it up that Censored nose. :rant:

Had the same thing on the right side. The stealer replaced the whole unit and was fine for about a whole 3 months. I think the foam idea is MY next step.

The key for me is to move it around. Sometimes the smallest adjustment works great. When I got my truck back after my parents had it for 3 weeks, it shook so bad that I thought it would fall out. It took about 800 miles of tweaking here and there, now it doesn't move at all. The passenger side has always been ok.

Mine does it and I don't have a bug deflector. Tell them that.

Yep - that is what they told me - Bug deflector causes it.

I feel your pain, I went through the same thing. Both of mine tore (High PSI car washes I think) and now they shake.

Are ya'll saying that the mirrors themselves shake, the whole unit?:confused: Or just the mirror glass? My drivers side mirror glass shakes running down the road. It's not really bad, just a bit of an annoyance sometimes. (I guess it depends on what kind of mood I'm in if it sucks or if it's OK:blahblah: ).

my mirrors rattle as well, definetly a design issue and GM won't do anything about it most likely.

I feel for all of you. Should have listened to the several of us who had lengthy experience with the Powervision mirror before GM made it an option. It was junk then and sounds like it is still junk now. Powervision has a too small too soft brass gear which historically wore out with a year or two of normal use, but they ALWAYS denied us warrantly, saying the mirrors were slapped by a tree, or other mirror or some such crap. Powervision as a company was in trouble with the mirror when they got GM to buy the crap and the rest is history. GM dealer is telling you what he is being told by GM who is being told by Powervision no gearee, no waranty. Most of us who had experience with these warned everybody on both sites when GM picked it up. I remember one person specifically saying "No problem, GM will handle it" Yea, just like they started out handling 01 injector warranties. Do your self a favor - get a better mirror and avoid the hassle.

Knock on wood...I have the High Profile Bug Deflector (HD Hood) and my mirrors are solid so far after 13K mikes on Alaska roads. Now you want to talk about wipers lifting from the Bug Deflector...Geez

On mine, just the glass shakes on both sides, but if you adjust the mirror just a slight bit, it will go away, for a few minutes. The best the I can figure is that there is too much slop in the worm gears that adjust the mirror glass. I notified the dealer about it and they told me that GM knows about it, but there is no fix for it yet. I just make them put it as a job request for mirror shake, every time it go to the dealer, no matter what for. I wish I would have gotten the standard mirrors.
