Driver side mirror vibrating in the wind at high speeds

[mk5_ricola]

As the title states, the mirror slightly vibrates in the wind causing the mirror image to be blurry sometimes. Reminds me of my friend's mustang!

Is there something to re-seat or tighten maybe?

Thanks

Shouldn´t you be looking forward anyway at high speeds?
Unbalanced wheel maybe, or loose mirror?

Did you install new mirror caps? Maybe the mirror wasn't clipped in completely.

Shouldn't be wheels because the car feels fine it's just the mirror.
How am I supposed to see the face of the guy I just smoked without looking into a nice stable mirror?

The dealer put on the carbon fiber caps, but it seems more like an issue with the mirror arm.

Oh! the whole mirror unit not just the lense/glass. I'd get that checked maybe someone bumped into it and broke something.

Not yet Ill have the dealer take a look. Maybe a quick tightening of a bolt?

I'd just remove the door card and the finisher, check the mounting bolt torque.

Dealer can definitely do it, or I'm sure you can check out YT for some stereo speaker swap vid to see which bolts / clips are to be removed.

I would think so, either at the hinge or where it mounts to the door. i may check it out this weekend.
