rattle in mirror area
I have a 2015 RT SM6 with 2000 miles. An annoying rattle has developed. It happens when the right wheel is jarred while riding. It has the sound of plastic not metal. The sound seems to originate from the right mirror or speaker area. I removed the mirror and shook it. Nothing rattling inside. Has anyone encountered this phenomenon? Maybe I need to remove my guardian bell and give it a good wax job. Thanx in advance.

Consider this: Maybe someone who has experienced this issue does not visit every forum, every day.

While your reasoning seems to hold water: you still have to check all of the threads (Just like a 20 mile long trap-line in the wilderness...), to see where a correct answer might have been snagged...
Keeping things just a little bit simpler, can usually work out okay...

Have you taken the mirror off and put it back on? These are very easy to take off but you may feel as if your going to break.

rattle
Try spraying some lube on the windshield bushings. Drove myself crazy trying to figure it out. I took the mirrors off, went for a ride and the noise was still there.
Someone in this forum suggested to me what I suggest to you. Problem solved.
Good luck..

Rattling Mirrors
Has anyone noticed a rattling noise with their mirrors?
Just trying to keep a little humor going on the site. Tightened the spring clips, helped but not to my liking. I'm fixing to apply some industrial strength velcro to the inside of my mirrors. I'll let you know how it works out.

I had a Very annoying Squeak start a few days ago. I wiggled and thump the plastic till I got a squeak from the right mirror. Put a tiny drop of syn. lube on the clips and posts and Silence!!
