Hey all, I've got two questions:
My first question is that my front drivers side tire makes a funny noise whenever I turn. During every revolution of the tire it makes a noise that to me sounds like the tire is sticky (like gum stuck to it) at one spot whenever I turn left or right. Everytime a certain part of the tire goes around it sounds like something sticky is on the tire at just the one spot. I inspected the tire and found nothing wrong with it, I couldn't feel any flat spots or anything, no rocks or gum, tire appears to be fine. Anyone know what this could be?

Then question 2 is; My drivers side mirror rattles really bad anytime I hit the slightest bump, or have music at any volume other than "quite" (lol). Is there anyway to pull out the mirror and see what is causing this? I read americanmuscle.com's agent 47 mirror installation instructions and in that I see how to take the mirror off but the best advice I gathered from there was just yank on it - I dont want to break anything and I'll be putting the mirror right back on, so how do you properly remove/reinstall it? The rattle annoys the heck outta me - sounds like a blown speaker with the windows closed.

I also have the mirror problem.
It just came up at 30K miles.
I was looking for the procedure for removing
the mirror glass from the mirror and it dawned
on me that one of the clips holding the glass
to the adjustment mechanisim could be loose
as to remove the glass, you put the mirror in
some all one way adjustment and grab the glass
and pull...

Any relation to MaxShuty?

More often than not, rattling in the mirrors is due to the screws holding the motor assemblies loosening up. remove the glass and you can tighted them up. Adding a dab of silicone under the heads will help prevent them from vibrating loose again. (I don't recommend loctite for this, as it plays hell with threads in plastic)

Any relation to MaxShuty - yes. My little brother, except he has an 02. I'm home visiting the family and went on my moms computer and didn't realize I wasn't logged in and he was and then I posted this on his account without knowing it, lol.

I'll try tightening up those screws tomorrow and taking the mirror apart. Man I hate when my car makes any rattle noises. I've had several and they make me go nuts. This new one just came about two months ago but for the first month of it doing that I thought it was something inside the door or a blown speaker until I realized it's the mirror, and it's getting worse every day. Hopefully it doesn't rain tomorrow and I can get this issue solved.

Anyone have any ideas on the tire issue? Theres absolutely nothing wrong with the tire itself, could it be a tie rod or something in there?

Mine do the same exact thing but I have new tires, Sumitomos.
