Mine wiggles a lot when I turn my radio up or if I go over rumble strips on the road. I remember a while back, that a black ring fell off of the back of it (never put it back on because it cracked in half, don't know how it happened), that's when the looseness started. Any suggestions how to fabricate something to stiffen it up again....

i had mine jiggle for a while, then it fell off, the dealership changed it under warranty, now i'm at 80k miles and it fell off again, i just used some tar type stuff it stuck it up there.... mine fell due to my TV being there....

That should fix the problem!

I'm not sure if mine came loose because I replaced it over 1 year ago (under warranty from the mfg) and didn't have it secure enough or if was due to the 100+ temperatures in Chicago. Either way its rock solid now.

I've had the mounting bracket for the rearview mirror break going over a couple of potholes. Had a plastic thing hit me in the face when it happened. That made the mirror really loose. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced under warranty.
