03 manual Flip up tow mirrors vibration
OEM mirrors I just installed and the drivers side vibrates at idle in drive off idle it seems ok. Does anyone elses vibrate? They both seam like I get a little vib over bumps but I expect that. Going 50 mph they seem ok on smooth roads.

Mine came with the truck and when they started to vibrate I had the dealer replace them because I couldn't see with them vibrating that bad
All I can say is chek and make sure you installed al of the hardware correctly

Mine don't vibrate at all unless I turn the stereo up way, way loud with lots of bass......
I hated the mirrors on my 98 but I tell you, these towing mirrors are awesome. I don't even fold them out half of the time because I can still see fine.....

I had some vibe in my right tow mirror. I took a zip tie and cut off the end with the clasp. Folded the mirror back and slid the zip tie betwwen the pivot points on the mirror and folded the mirror back into place. Walla - no more vibe. that was 350,000 miles ago.

Mine are factory installed tip up tow mirrs and they are rock solid at idle and all road speeds. Build date on truck 8/4/2002. Now have 38,000 miles on truck, over half towing. Leave on 4 month trip 6/1 for Alaska towing 5er. Look out Kenai Reds!

The glass in mine will vibrate. I had an 00 that the glass fell out of while driving down the interstate. Would have been o.k. but the wires for the heated mirror allowed for the glass to beat against the door untill I could get pulled over. Made a mess of the passanger door.
