    If he turns the music down then he will hear his windshield wiper motor. I would rather have the problem with the rearview mirror.

    if your like me you dont want to "turn it down" like everyone says to. it use to happen more in my old car than in my truck but when i drove my car, i set the mirror where i wanted it and hot glued it there. it worked, no more fallen mirror BUT you could still move the mirror if you had to. i.e. someone else drove and had to use it

    The mirror shakes because of vibration transmitted through the truck into the windshield. You need to kill the vibrations. You need to deaden!

    I have raamat encolite and mlv on all doors and the back wall. I think i got enough. Does your mirror not drop italyn? The mirror ball joint is not as good as other cars I've owned.

    MLV and Ensolite are not deadeners. MLV is a noise barrier and Ensolite is for decoupling. BTX and the like is Raamaudio's deadener.

    I must be lucky cuz my mirror doesn't move from my 12" kicker with 500W RMS in the reg cab. Quite suprising since I've had that problem in other vehicles.

    Well I suppose you could figure out a way to stiffen up the ball joint. I'm betting you could figure something out. Maybe a REALLY small dab of silicone II on the joint and then move it around a whole bunch so it coats the insides. Then when it dries it will be MUCH stiffer. But too much and it will be locked for good lol
