    Looking for some info or advice. I have a 2011 Off-Road with the backup camera and screen in the rear view mirror.

    It's lose where it connects to my window, so I rarely adjust it for the proper view. Additionally, when I do,it wobbles back down after a short drive. I'm just used to tilting my head down and looking up to see what's behind me. Lol. Not too bad, but bugs me.

    Any ideas on how to fix/replace it?

    Sorry if this sounds silly, but does your mirror have a set screw? If so, is it tight?

    Random internet picture of a mirror off of who knows what... but it gives you rough idea of what and where you're looking:

    Ah ok... Nah I don't think that's the problem. It's lose where the black plastic meets the white piece where it connects to the glass. Might just be adhesive. I'll check for screws though

    Gotcha, so yours is wobbly at the red arrow? and not the yellow arrow?

    edit: Or you mean the metal mount that is adhered to the windshield, that the mirror then mounts onto... that's the culprit?

    Yeah my rear view mirror seems to drop down a bit after a few days, I have to lift it up again and again. Been that way for the past 7 years.
