OK, There was a thread around here about how our rear view mirrors rattle, I have the same problem. I have an XD2 ....hopefully its similar to the XD.
There aretwo parts one that is glued to the window, and then the bracket , I dont know how they are attached, ( didnt take it apart)
The rattle is not from the actualmirror but from these two parts , the bracket that holds themirror and the piece that attaches to the windshield that the bracket is connected to.
What I did is I took some string and forced inbetween these two pieces and kept wrapping it around until I didnt feel any movement. The string is acting as a pad between these two pieces, cut off the excess and force the ends in there as well, so you dont see anything.
Took it for a short drive, and I dont hear the rattle anymore, I will be doing a 100mile commute herein a little bit and I will report back.
If this works, its a quick cheap fix. I took a picture, I will try to upload tonight.
What do you guys think?
As I said I couldnt find the original thread on this topic, feel free to move it
