Axixtech Stealth Visor Install: how do I stop vibration?

[firefighter_2000]

I just installed an Axixtech Stealth Visor in my truck:

My question is, how do I stop the vibrating? It vibrates against the windshield and is pretty annoying. First thought was to add some rubber trim to the leading edge. I've bent the brackets up and slid the light in from the front so that the lights are held close to the windshield, but it still vibrates. Any other ideas?


Thanks

You need a rubber coated buffer strip the whole length of the light that touches the windshield. You will hear nothing after that.

Where might I find a rubber coated buffer strip? Auto zone? Oreilleys?

I would try home depot, lowes, menards. I don't know the name but its a rubberized edge protector. It has metal ribs in it that help it stay on whatever you attach it to.

If you bought it new, it should have come with two rubber dampening strips for the front edge of each section.

Just so you know...took me over a year to decide to try this but about a year ago I bought the Dodge Charger brackets for the SV figuring that there couldn't be too much difference between the two overhead visors. And what do ya know..I was right. I found this out tonight. I finally got tired of the SV sitting around and mounted it almost perfectly with the Charger brackets. I've got a 2008 Ram Mega Cab and I hated the flashback/poor fitment of the SV until tonight when I mounted it using the Charger brackets. Just an idea for ya!
