Drivers side mirror
My drivers side mirror keeps shaking while I am driving. Is there something I can do to tighten it to stop this? It is virtually impossible to focus on something while driving.
Another question that I have is, would anybody know where I can find a page where it would tell me what level of window tint is legal in Illinois?
Thanks for the help.

I live in illinois, and NO level of tint is legal in illinois on the front driver and passenger windows, you can do anything you want to the back and extended/crew cab windows if you have them. as far as the front you can only place tint above the AS1 line on the windshiels (in the upper left and right corners).
That said i have mine done and 25% on your side windows matches the stock privacy glass almost perfectly, but no its not legal and i have been tickited.

Regarding the mirror, assuming it is the standard power adjustable one, there is a center ball and socket, two smaller ratcheting ball and sockets and two locating pins. If any of these became disengaged from either the mirror or head side, the mirror will shake. If you can pop them back in (difficult) it might be fixed, but if they're broken or worn, I don't think they are available separately.
I just had mine apart to replace the (signal) mirror, and it felt like doing brain surgery. Probably worthwhile to just get a replacement, unless you have more time than money.

i dont believe so, i think it is mostly to do with the area of the window, but if you put 25 on the front sides it matches the rear sides perfect
the back always looks a lil lighter from the inside, especially if you have a dimond plate toolbox like i do.
