How do I keep my rearview mirror from flopping all the way down?

Hey all, I just got a newer system and when the bass hits, it flopps the rearview mirror right down to where if I look in it, I am looking at my legs. Is there anyway to stop that? I have tried tighting the screw on it but it doesn't work. I need to be able to use it and it's just impossible.

Thanks

I found Hot glue to hold that type of thing pretty good and its something you can get off if needed

So I put glue on my rear view mirror? Isn't there any other way? Mine moves automatically when it detects light on it so I dunno if thats a good idea

umm ok smart ***

I guess nobody knows the answer to a simple question. I dunno. I guess nobody else has that problem due to a underpowered system.

I can't see out any mirror. It's just not safe.

remove the fancy mirror and replace it with a cheap one that you can glue or there's always ductogamy( the art of repair through magic tape)!!

let me get this strieght...You don't want to use any form of glue because your mirror "moves automatically when it detects light on it so I dunno if thats a good idea" BUT, you want to stop it from moving "when the bass hits".
