Every time the bass hits the rear view mirror points to the floor.

Anyone know a good fix?

tighten the mirror set screw

It doesn't have a screw, it uses a pressure catch, that works fine, but the ball joints that let you adjust the mirror aren't strong enough to hold it in place when the bass hits, it just points straight down, lol it's kinda annoying

Turn it down

Turn it down

It does it even at low levels, lol Some ideas I had were rusting the joints or sanding them, or putting them into a vice and compressing them around the ball tighter.

IDK though, al those ideas seem to end in a destroyed rear view mirror.

I don't believe you

take the mirror off.

keep a bottle of nitrogen in your car and set a nozzle to spay it continuously, thus freezing the metal parts and causing expansion. Problem solved.

If you can get that thing apart, add some tape or something to it.

Set it, super glue it, forget it.

Buy a new one. Mirror or car. whatever.

Install a back up cam with a 7" moniter in the dash. By pass it so its always "on"

Just take if off. Mine hit the dash 7 times. Even replaced it a few times. It is in my tool box now. With the system playing I can't see shit anyway.
