I removed my mirror glass in my '19 last year and upon reassembly I didnt fully seat the clips. This held the mirror on, but it was just as you described while driving. There are 8 clips in a 2-3 inch ring in the center of the glass, that hold it to the motor. Could be worth a try to push firmly in the centerish of the mirror with about 4 fingers and see if the glass clicks into place. 2nd picture is a clip not fully seated around the motor and just kind of hanging on by tension.

Thank you for the tip. I pushed on the center of the mirror as you suggested and although I didnt hear a distinct CLICK, I mashed a second time and I did move the mirror. Maybe it was loose because it did not seem to be shaking nearly as much on the interstate this evening...Hopefully that fixed it.

 

Use painters tape and tape the mirror glass to the housing to isolate if it’s the mirror glass or entire mirror assembly vibrating. If it’s the assembly vibrating, you can pop off the trim that holds the blind spot indicator to gain access to the mounting hardware but remember the rule, “if you break it, you bought it”. After isolating the problem, have the dealer fix it.

 

Experienced same issue. Simply pressed on mirror on did not hear any click but after driving again at highway speed the vibration is gone. Thanks-saved me a trip to dealer

 

Both of my mirrors have been doing this and it has been driving me nuts! I am definitely going to try pressing on the center of the mirrors.

 

Unfortunately my issue came back and now the passenger side is doing it as well…have appt to dealer Monday for fix

 

Pilot owners are also experiencing this problem.

Side View Mirror Glass Loose

On my 2021, the side view mirror started shaking over bumps so you could not see clearly in the mirror. Honda was going to replace the whole mirror assembly under warranty as they don't sell just the glass part. I said no as I just had the outside of my mirrors covered in clear bra. Plus I...

UPDATE: It didnt fix my drivers side mirror and neither did my own 'hack' that I thought would work.. now the Passenger side is starting to vibrate as well... Looks like a trip to the dealership for me....grrrr

 

Update: dealer is ordering replacement mirrors for both driver and passenger side. Unfortunately on back order so not sure how long it will take. Said they have had this issue with the Odyssey but this is first on a Ridgeline they’ve seen and couldn’t believe how bad it is.

 

What is underlying issue creating the vibrations causing the mirrors to blur?

He didn’t specify but assume it has to do with the housing that the mirror sits in. They pressed on the mirrors like I did and no vibration again but assume it will return in a week or so like last time. Will ply this game until the replacement parts come in.

 

Both of my side mirrors are vibrating now at 35+ mph and the drivers side auto backup feature quit working this weekend...grrr... not real happy considering I've only had the truck 5 weeks

 

What I was making reference to is what is creating the vibration that is being transferred to the mirrors?

Just normal vibrations from driving combined with wind pressure will cause mirror glass vibration if the mirror glass or mirror housing isn’t firmly attached to the vehicle.

 

Hello all, searched this issue, saw this group & joined. Guess what, the driver side view mirror vibrates on my new Ridgeline (got it 04/26). I thought I was imagining things, it began yesterday, confirmed today. I will be contacting the dealer & will let you know how it goes.

 

So I've had my 2021 RTL for a few weeks now and I have noticed the left mirror vibrates at highway speeds (60+), enough to make objects quite blurry. Best I can tell the housing itself isnt moving, just the mirror. The right side seems pretty solid. Such a minor issue but also rather annoying. Anyone have this issue or know a simple solution. I hate to take it back to the dealership for such a minor issue but it's brand new... Maybe something just needs tightening ??

I have a brand new 2021 rtl and the driver side mirror vibrates also annoying , but dont want the dealership to make it worse , dont know what i will do

 

Last night after reading this thread I pushed in the center of the mirror, only heard a faint click as I released pressure. It seems to have 'fixed' it for now, though my morning commute is very short & not over 45 mph. Giving the dealer a call regardless, no way is this acceptable on a vehicle, particularly a truck.

 

I noticed the drivers side mirror on my 2021 is having the same issue as mentioned in this thread. I am with @tunahonda, not sure the dealer will make it any better. Is this only happening on the reverse tilting mirrors? I noticed from the signatures of the posters that most of them have the RTL or above.

 

GOOD QUESTION....MINE ARE REVERSE-TILT (which I personally see no benefit from) I figured out by accident that if you put the toggle switch in the middle it turns off this feature... left position - left mirror tilts... right position - right mirror tilts... I have an appt with the dealership to look at my mirrors tomorrow... Whenever they get fixed/replaced I intend to leave the tilt feature turned OFF.

 

If Honda has not changed the design of the mirror, why would a replacement perform any differently? Hoping the dealer will fix the problem, but I am cautiously optimistic.

 

Someone referenced in earlier post that the same issue with other models was attributed to the adhesive used , so hopefully a replacement would not have that same issue

 

Took mine in today and the dealer confirmed my mirrors were 'delaminating' (the glue issue) .. She said the parts were indeed backordered and that when they come in they will schedule a time to fix the problem.... she said it usually gets worse in hot weather... I guess the glue is melting???

 

Better get this done in the summer, then.

 

This is happening on the driver side of my 21RL also. I took it to the dealership and we are waiting for a back ordered replacement.

 

i'm glad im not going crazy. my passenger mirror is doing this as well. when i push on it and release it almost feels like there is a sticky glue letting go of the glass when I release pressure.

 

My new 21 RTL, same issue on drivers side. Definitely looks like its delaminating, adhesive failure. Bringing to dealer tomorrow.

 

RTLs and above have heated mirrors, not sure any Sports with unheated mirrors have reported the issue. Most likely a manufacturing defect as this has not been an issue in previous model years. This may end up being a safety recall as we will probably start seeing reports of the mirror glass falling off the vehicle. Pilot, PP and Ody owners are also reporting this problem.

 

I just got 2021 Pilot EX-L less then a month ago and the first thing I noticed when I took it to highway the reflection in driver side mirror were very fuzzy comparing to my previous car because of vibration. I immediately looked at passages' side and it was ok. I put a finger on the mirror why driving and vibration stopped. It's driving me nuts. I'm glad I found this forum. It looks like wide spread issue. This is definitely a safety issue. I pushed the mirror as other suggested and it fixed the problem for some time, but it came back. We should all report it to dealer so Honda get enough complains to issue a recall.

 

I have a 2020 CRV Hybrid and noticed this issue with the driver side mirror vibrating at highway speeds during our first road trip agree that it is a bothersome distraction and can be a safety issue, especially at night with headlights from different cars blurring together. I have searched for the issue before but haven't found other CRV owners with it yet (maybe they don't drive fast enough =p), but the issue is exactly as you all describe. I'll definitely be raising this issue with the dealership and reference this thread for back up. Thanks!

 

I have a 2020 CRV bought in Jan, 2021. I have the same issue with my driver side mirror vibrating on idle, driving at any speed, and on bumpy roads. It's noticeable, and the images do get a little fuzzy. I took it in to the dealers and they gave bs excuses that it was normal. I feet left out with supposedly having warranty by Honda right now. I took it to two different dealers and they still wouldn't want to replace my driver side mirror. I am just waiting for it to get worse to prove my point and have a manager examine it instead of the advisors/techs before 3 years/36k is up. They also added micro reflective scratches onto my mirror by cleaning it after messing with it, with a microfiber cloth (dry). Unless, you are sure that you can get it replaced do so or else dealers will make it worse by fiddling with your mirror. I also have driver seatbelt fraying on some parts of the driver seatbelt (really bad quality nowadays with Honda).... that is lifetime warranty if you ask. I will use it until it gets too much fraying and I will bring it in. I also have other minor issues. I came from owning Toyotas. This isn't the best experience for me right now with Honda. I regret owning a Honda as I am writing this and spending time finding forums to rant. Sorry in advance! These cars aren't cheap, I expect some quality assurance.

dealership ordering a new mirror for mine..was real annoying…

 

Same here with passenger mirror. Dealer ordered mirror but said they are having problems getting new parts and may be awhile. Also the mirror edges were not surfaced and were jagged like they were not a polished finish.

 

Also had my 21 rtl for 5 weeks and same problem on the driver side mirror. Definitely a adhesive issue. When I press on the corner it sticks again and stops but then it starts again after a little driving.

Same here, should have never bought during this Covid mess. My driver side mirror is the same. You can try putt some contact cement on it. I’m waiting for a new mirror. No eta due to supply chain. Same thin happened to exterior trim molding. Glue came loose. Infotainment screen went black had to replace. 2500 miles. So much for Honda reliability.

 

Yeah, unfortunately we might be dealing with issues related to Covid interruptions and ongoing interventions for years.
