I don't know what the deal with the rear-view mirror on the Ms is. At least on mine. Once in a while I'll be driving on a bumpy road and the mirror will start rattling. I have to squeeze the plastic bezel together and then it shuts up. I can hear why it's rattling, it's almost like the bezel is loose, but I don't see any way for that to have happened. Just to be clear: it's not the attachment that fixes the mirror to the windshield. it's the plastic bezel around the mirror itself. Sometimes I wish I didn't have all the silly gadgets on the mirror because I don't use them anyway, and the old fashioned rear view mirrors don't rattle. Anyone experienced this?
Also, my headlights are getting fogged up much too often on the inside. Can the dealership treat the inside with something to prevent this? Once the lights are off for a bit they clear up, but after a ride home from work I always notice they're kinda foggy.

There is a TSB for the headlight fogging. I don't know about the rear view mirror.InfinitiMe wrote:I don't know what the deal with the rear-view mirror on the Ms is. At least on mine.

YOu should check out Headlight Restoration Service ( http://www.hrslights.com ). I had a problem like that several years ago and they were able to help me.
