I can't take the rattle coming from my rearview (after 2 sets of dealer TSB's it still rattles) so I have decided to take matters into my own hands and try to fix the noise.

Problem is I can't figure out how to get it apart. It comes off the windshield easy enough but there are no visible screws or latchs to unfasten and muscling it apart/using a flat head screw driver wasn't working either.

Has anyone opened up their rearview mirror before - how'd you do it?

 

I have one opened up at the shop. I dont have it in front of me now, but I will take pics of where ther tabs are so you dont do much damage. If you want you can just go at it like i did and pry apart. I started at the top so that you cant see where i was prying on it. It left 2 small marks. Once i got one tab unsnapped the other were easy.

 

Do you have the home-link one?

 

I ended up adjusting the mirror a bit and the rattle just went away...

 

Squeeze the frame (corners) of the mirror.... that's where I get the noise.

 

Yes, its the homelink. Squeezing the mirror fixes the rattle for about 30 seconds. If you have that picture you'd make my day.
