Side mirror vibrating / blurry

[MoreIceTea]

Found this issue after about 200 miles on highway. When driving on rough road the driver side mirror will vibrate and make everything blurry.

I was able to take off the door panel and tight the 3 bolts connecting the mirror arm to the door, then tight the three little screws under the mirror connecting the mirror housing to the mirror arm after taking off the bottom plastic cover. One of these little screws was pretty loose from factory so I've tighten all three of them as much as I could. The condition has improved a little, but still not eliminating the issue.

The issue only happens on the driver side, passenger side is rock solid. Checked the mirror lens attachment and pretty sure all 8 tabs were attached to the power adjusting actuator. The vibration seems to be from the actuator, it has a little wiggle room when pressing different corners on the lens, but the passenger side does the same and it doesn't vibrate on highway.

One observation is I can feel the road is rough from the steering wheel when the mirror is doing this.

Found a couple posts but none of them mentioned any solution:

Any suggestions on what to look for before bringing it to the dealer? TIA!

Hey mate,

I’m experiencing the same issue. The driver’s side mirror vibrates when I’m cruising at highway speeds or in windy conditions.

I have a 2025 Supra with 3,000 miles on it, and I noticed the issue at 1,000 miles.

I visited the dealer, who checked the car and confirmed that it was shaking. They replaced the entire mirror assembly, but unfortunately, this did not resolve the issue. I will be visiting them again in the coming days to see if they can find a solution.

I will keep you updated if there are any developments.

Any updates from the dealership? I’m kinda getting used to the vibration but want to follow-up see if there is a potential solution.

Sorry for the very late reply, I’m not very active on the forum and somehow completely missed your message.


Unfortunately, I don’t have much of an update.


I eventually just got used to the shaking. Even after they replaced the entire mirror assembly, the vibration remained pretty much exactly the same. The only noticeable difference was the warning text on the replacement mirror saying “objects in mirror are closer than they appear” lol.


I don’t think I’ll be going back to them for another mirror replacement, because at this point I’m fairly certain the issue is deeper than the mirror assembly itself. I suspect it needs a proper investigation into the mounting, door, or whatever is actually causing the vibration rather than simply replacing parts.


Unfortunately, I don’t have much confidence that my local dealership will be able to diagnose it. They seem to struggle with the Supra in general, probably because of its BMW/German underpinnings, and I don’t think they particularly enjoy working on it either.


If I ever find a proper solution or get a useful diagnosis, I’ll definitely update the thread.

Cheers.
