Summary
SHOULD YOU RECEIVE A CUSTOMER CONCERN OF A LOOSE WINDSHIELD MOUNTED AUTO-DIMMING COMPASS MIRROR WITH HOMELINK (WITH OR WITHOUT HOMELINK ON BRZ MODELS), THE MOUNTING ADAPTER PLATE SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR PROPER TIGHTNESS. THE APPLICABLE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE UTILIZE A MIRROR MOUNT ADAPTOR TO SECURE THE MIRROR TO THE WINDSHIELD. DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION, IN SOME CASES, THE MIRROR MAY LOOSEN OVER TIME AND BEGIN TO RATTLE. A NEW SERVICE KIT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO IMPROVE RETENTION OF THE MIRROR TO THE WINDSHIELD MOUNT. THE COUNTERSINK IN THE CAM PLATE SHOWN IN THE PHOTO BELOW HAS BEEN ELIMINATED TO MAKE INSTALLATION EASIER.
