Rear view mirror?

My rear view mirror keeps sagging, and I need to readjust it almost daily. Had the dealer look at it during my 5K service, and they claimed to have tightened some screws, but it still sags. Was wondering if anyone else was experiencing the same, or if I just have a weak socket.

Do you use the garage button? Mine only sags when I press the garage button. So now I cradle the mirror in my hand while using my thumb to press the buttons. No more sagging.

Not yet - I have one of those rolling code garage doors, which is a pain to program, so I've just been using a remote. I don't touch the mirror except to readjust it

It doesn't sag... But I do push it with my finger down sometimes.

Mine has a loose mount. If I push the black plastic tube running up the windshield from the mirror mount to the headliner area, the mirror wobbles a bit. It also vibrates (makes noise) when nearby cars are blasting their stereos.

Also, the ball joint of the mirror used for adjusting it does allow a bit of play.
