Mirror won't stay put due to bass

KingJoseph · 04-11-2014, 01:02 AM

Somewhat ridiculous question, I know...

I don't feel like my bass is insanely loud, but it's enough to set my rearview mirror on a path downward every time the music starts and I constantly have to readjust while driving. Is there any effective and aesthetically reasonable way to secure it so this doesn't happen?

Just turn down the bass...or superglue your mirror!

There should be a screw behind the mirror try tightening it, no the one going to the windshield.

Either you like the bass a lot louder than you think it is or the mirror swivel joint is loose. If there is no adjustment (see bigaudiofanat's comment above; procedure should be in FSM, if it can be adjusted), you probably need a new mirror.

that set screw is for the base. i dont think it tightens the ball joint.

Than as the others said loose the bass lol

So what you are all saying is he needs to......drop the bass out of the system.
