turn it down!

j/k

Adjust your mirror so that it gives the regular view while in the down position, then flip it up for the night anti-glare position, or manually adjust it between the two?
The mirror i believe will give two positions of anti-glare, one above normal, and one below normal position.
(I think that makes sense)

Yeah, and lets say you had the mirror adjusted. At night you flick the switch and the mirror drops slightly and everything is darker. if you readjusted the mirror at that setting then the switch would have to be flicked so that the mirror moves up instead of down.

BUT!

If you mean the actual adjusting of the mirror is loose then I may have TOTALLY misdiagnosed the problem! I was thinking it was just dropping to your antiglare position

In that case I guess you could either squeeze the housing that those little ball joints sit in to stiffen it up, or figure out another way to make them stiffer??
 






just get the autodim/lamp rear view mirror...that will take care of it...hehehe...its better also...with more options...wooo hooo!
 






You all must have louder systems than me and my fosgates because my mirror doesnt move at all.
