What do you guys do to keep your rearview mirror from moving down?

I dont think that you can do anything, i've had systems in cars for about 4 years and you just get used to it.

You can turn the mirror around and their is a screw that you can tighten it but you will keep having to do this and I believe it eventually becomes even looser after a while...

Once you get into large amount of bass, aint a DAMN you can do. Mine moves down about every two days.

Just pull it back up.

What I did was cut a small section of rubber hose and glued it on the back of the mirror that held it away from the windshield... My mirror would only fall "one way", so I could have eliminiated the problem with one piece, but that looked rather weird- so I stuck another on the other side. it too a little getting used to to see it from the outside, but 90% of people will never realize it's there.. the other 10% usually figure out what it's for the second they see the stereo.

like they all said tighten up that screw, should work for a while. Mine has been tight since the spring.

I wish mine only did it every two days. With certain songs there isn't even a use in putting it back up. Oh well... at least I get to watch the pretty red light on my MTX amp in the mirror.

LOL.......I just turn down the music if i need to use my mirrors. The rearview is impossible to use. The driver side and passenger side mirrors also vibrate some making them difficult to use.

hehe. yea true but these guys have problems with them actually moving out of position so its a pain in the azz to re adjust them at every stop. I had this problem when I had a broadway mirror but I took it off cuz it rattled like a *****
