Anyone know how i can make my rear-view mirror so that it dosnt fall down when i have my subs up? I looked at tightening it up i dont know what there is to do...

 

bolt it onto the top... ever watch the lock thingy while ur subs are up?? it shakes lol.. pretty strong anywayss just bolt it up on the roof or use super glue on the windshield

 

see the problem is its allready bolted onto the roof

 

I had the same problem, accept the glass from my driver's side mirror fell out of the housing. Went to Advance Auto Parts, and they gave me some blue stuff. Can't remember what it was called, but I think it dries clear, so you could try that with your rearview I guess...

 

yeah that happened to my cadillac and the dealership put it back on during a servicing but then it fell off again hahaha the two 15" kickers owned the mirror

i never had luck keeping mirrors on . One time i finally got it to stay in my Daytona, then i put 4 12's in it in a wall. . . not only did it fall ff again, but it pulled a piece of the windhsield with it. and kinda left like a bullethole in place of it. I think i still have it as memorabilia

 

Here is what I did in my Civic (copy & pasted from the thread I posted it in)

It is a very common occurance...someone adds some bass to their car, or they install a stiff suspension, and then they get used to readjusting their mirror every couple minutes. Well...I say no more. Mine used to get knocked around by my bass, but recently it has been from my suspension. Today I finally did something about it.


Tools Needed:

small flathead screwdriver
#3 or so phillips head screwdriver
#20 torx driver
electrical tape
shop towel


Ok, first off we need to locate the mirror.



Now that we found it, we need to pop the little cover off. For this you will use the small flat head wrapped in a shop towel...so you don't mar the cover.



With the cover off you will see three philips head screws...these need to come out.



Once they are out, the whole assembly will come down...make sure you are holding it. Next you need to remove this cap (bad pic)



By using your flathead and shop towel in this groove.



If you do like I did at this point and move inside out of the heat, you might need to shoo away the dog.



When the dog is gone, you need to get your torx driver and remove this screw.



Then remove this plastic piece by carefully prying on it with your flat head until it shoots across the room. At this point you might have to yell at the dog not to eat it.





When you recover the piece, you need to wrap it in electrical tape until it fits snugly in the hole you pulled it out of.



The idea here is to keep this plastic piece from moving, and only let the metal ball move around inside the piece. This will really tighten up your mirror.


When you have it wrapped where it fits snugly in the hole, go ahead and put the two pieces back together.


Now you need to put that plate you took off back on, and tighten it down...you will have to force it a bit. If you cannot get the screw to catch the first couple threads, even with good pressure, you need to cut some of the tape off the top of that little ball. Once you catch a thread or two the screw will pull it down for you.



And that is all she wrote folks. Put the cover back on that piece, reinstall it in the car, and put the cover back on that part. You will notice that you can still adjust your mirror...but it takes MUCH more effort...and now it should stay in place, unless you are pushing some very high SPL.

 

nice.

Glad to help guys..this has kept my mirror in place over all kinds of terrain...so hopefully it will work for the bass.

I am actually in Dalworthington, around the Bowen and I-20 area.

 

Yes, that method works for bass.... I did it 2 weeks ago, and whenever I slam my ported 15XXX sub (feeding it about 1500-1600 watts), it doesn't move at all.

 

nice. i really like that.
