ATTENTION: WINK MIRROR USERS

I have solved the vibration issue utilizing the factory mounting points! I did this with JDM/EDM/GDM visors, but I'm sure with a longer length of plumber's tape, you could do this with the USDM visors.

Materials:
Wink Rally 5-Panel Mirror
One Wink window mounting kit
Plumber's Tape (Approx 3-4" to be safe)
Rubber Mallet / Plastic Mallet
Philip's Head Screwdriver
THIN philip's head OR flat head screwdriver
Drill + Bits
Thread Tap
T25 Torx Screwdriver
15mm box or adjustable box wrench
Tin Snips / Lever-Action Dikes
10mm Socket Wrench

Process:

1. Making the L-Brackets.

Using your tin snips / dikes, cut about an inch of plumber's tape -- about 4 perforations, and then cut halfway through the fifth and sixth perforations.

It'd look like this:
_________
) O O O O (
-------------

Using your snips, round the edges close to the outside perforations. The part that will be bolting to the roof should get MUCH closer to the perforation that the bolt will go through to give as much clearance as possible.

It'd look like this:
_______
( O O O O)
----------

Bend the new bracket into an L-shape and slip it over the outside hole on the visor mounting plate. Bolt them back into the roof. Then using the hardware for the original Wink L-brackets, bolt the adjuster arms to the new L-brackets using the lock washer and a 10mm socket wrench. Position them so they are resting at about a 45-degree angle towards the front of the car, resting against the A-Pillar garnish.

Should look like this:





2. Removing the stock mirror.

Follow the instructions in the service manual for removing the mirror. As far as I know, this fix we're doing only works for the "USA-Produced" mirrors.

Stick your little philips or flathead into the slot, and gently tap it up into the mount until you can slide the mirror off the metal shoe.

Thanks dSoc for the image!



3. Attaching the Wink Mount.

On the back of your wink mirror, there should be two metal threaded holes for where the two windshield mounts are supposed to attach. Measure the distance between the two, and make a mark in the middle. It should be right in the middle of the "Rally" logo, below the "AL". Find a drill bit (cobalt works the best/fastest) a tiny bit smaller than the threadstock on the Wink windshield mount.

Drill very slowly and gently through the back of the mirror. DO NOT DRILL INTO THE MIRROR. DUH. LOL! Find a thread tap approx. the same size as the threadstock on the mount. Spray it with WD-40 or Liquid Wrench or some sort of oil and tap the drilled plastic hole. The pitch of the tap doesn't matter, since it's plastic, and the threadstock is just going to rip it's own path. You just want some sort of threaded pattern for it to grab on to and start threading it.

Tighten the windshield mount to the mirror with a 15mm box wrench.

4. Making it all come together.

With your L-brackets and adjuster arm in place in the car, and the windshield mount threaded into the Wink mirror, it's time to make it all work together!

Position the mirror in your car, and slide the windshield attachment onto the factory mounting shoe.

Bend the passenger side mirror bracket out a little bit to get the adjuster bolt on the side of the Wink mirror through the bracket. Bend it back into place. Screw on the adjuster ****, but just finger tight.

Put the other adjuster bolt through the driver side of the Wink mirror and through the adjuster bracket. Screw on the adjuster ****, but just finger tight.

Pull the windshield attachment down as far as you can on the factory shoe (don't force it), and hold it in place while using a philip's head driver to tighten the screw. This will lock the mount into place.

Sit in your driver's seat how you would if you were driving comfortably. Adjust your mirror to the preferred angle. Tighten down the adjuster *****.

GO DRIVE AND ENJOY NOT FEELING LIKE YOU'RE GONNA PUKE WHEN YOU'RE ON THE FREEWAY!.
