Default slightly Vibration when accelerating in Cabin / shaking

Hi friends, I am from Germany and my German is not perfect, excuse me

I am the happy owner of a F Type Coupe V6 in Sapphire Blue since 2 months.

Dream car, only the Meridian system (speakers) annoys me a bit, that's another topic...

Now I have noticed for 2 weeks that when accelerating, there is a slight vibration in the interior, as if something is resonating. Hard to identify what it is, after analysing it with my buddy as passenger we assume 70% that it comes from the front mirror. When touching the mirror, see picture, the vibration seems to be gone.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it at this point, or if it could be another part that is a bit loose and therefore vibrating?

It affects the beautiful engine sound a bit, which is why it bothers me. With a car like this, I can't accept that, I think you understand

Thanks in advance

I can't judge your German, but your English is pretty good!

It sounds like it could be caused by one or more of the engine bay brace bolts being a little loose.
This is a well known and common F-Type problem which can lead to some strange rattles or vibrations in the cabin.
Open the bonnet/hood and you will see two large metal braces on each side, one a bit shorter than the other and both running at an angle.
The longer one going from near the firewall to near the middle of the engine with one bolt showing and the shorter one towards the front of the engine bay with two bolts showing. They are held on with Torx T50 bolts which should be torqued up quite high and sometimes they come loose.
Check all six bolts and tighten as needed.

Hi , I wrote a thread title “mirror removal guide” here on this forum but don’t know how to link to it in this post and that it may help you. It will show you how to check if your mirror is loose. Be careful when accessing the mirror as it just slides onto the base and is held there purely by friction, no screws or anything. When taking off the mirror stalk cover my mirror just fell straight off onto the ground. If it has slipped forward it certainly could vibrate.

Hello Thank you for your answers! I just checked the brace bolts and they seem to be bombproof. With the mirror I was unfortunately also unsure, I pushed him up this morning as yesterday and still heard the noise unfortunately. Also have the feeling it could be coming from somewhere on the right side towards the passenger or dash. Is there anything else that can come into question or how would you proceed to identify the spot?

Hello friends! Still having the vibration, making me nervous as hell
went to dealer, but driving with another person it nearly disappers. First thought it came from the middle Tray or that plastic at the top where the belt comes out. The latter was even strengthened with a paste because it was a bit loose, but it only helped a little. It's definitely coming from somewhere on the passenger side. Can anyone hear it in the video?

here the Video, couldnt upload here https://streamable.com/qblol9
