[DeTomaso] FW: inside rear view mirror vibrates

[Kerry Maguire]

The car is "new to me", but in past other make vehicles, I would just
change out the mirror because it went bad. I mentioned this to some of
the other San Diego Pantera Club members and they were not surprised.
Some suggested wedging a piece of rubber behind the mirror. If that is
the case, I thought it might just be inherent with the Pantera model.

The inside rear view mirror even vibrates at idle. 

However, the outside rear view mirrors do NOT vibrate at all.

This is generally an indication of a major imbalance or vibration
elsewhere.
For example, the MKVIII two piece driveshaft can sometimes be "bad"  
causing the mirror to vibrate.

Is this a new occurance?

I would check all the u-joints, tires for balance and only then write  
it off to a performance car.

deRyke (or someone) will tell about wedging something under the mirror  
support to eliminate this . . .
