Default Side mirrors

I noticed that with just the little bit of bass the stock speakers make the mirrors vibrate and shake like crazy. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to stop or reduce this problem because what happens if you add a subwoofer.

The housing falls off.. and it's easy to remove.. a little too easy.. Mine fell off as I was washing it with a rag.. sometimes as my sub hits hard I hope to god it doesnt fall off like on the freeway or something.. I'd be so ____ed.

Lol so if the housing falls off if the bass gets cranked up real loud, is there anything you can do to prevent/minimize the shaking/falling?

I'd assume just glue it.. but then you wont be able to do fixes/modifications if you do that.. at this point I leave it as is and just pray lol

Dynamat the side mirrors? Or dynamat the interior to shield the mirrors from the sound?

Seems like a cop-out to me. Sniffs even mentioned that his fell off just while washing... which is lame.

Dynamatt the interior - the side mirrors are built to withstand the constant vibration.

^^^ correct.

and if you do a good job with the dynamatt it will greatly reduce the vibration of the side mirrors

you can get away with just the doors... but i remember on my old cady i put lock tight on the nuts holding the mirror to the door so that i was sure nothing would come off....just a suggestion
