If your system broke your mirror then I would say it is time to turn it down.

make sure they're not popped, the liquid inside them is toxic, it can eat through your dash and make you sick if it gets out

My mirror has done something similar. It became loose over time and it kept shaking on rough roads then i tried fixing it and i can take it off so that it dangles by the wire, all i did was slide it back in and pushed pretty hard to make it stay. It came back eventually and my dad did something forgot what though, I think there was some nail he tightened or something

My mirror does the same thing from my system. It only fell completely off once though. I bought a new one and it gets loose all the time. The dealer showed me how to put it back so now whenever it's loose, I can fix it myself. It normally only happens when it's really hot outside.

my mirror keeps coming off the window all together, not sure if it is the heat, the bass or both that makes the mount just come off the window? third time now that i come out to a dangling mirror.... but window company keeps repairing it under warranty since this didn't start until my windshield got replaced.

the rear view mirror glue they sell at auto parts stores is pretty damn strong. My rear view fell off in my old car while I had the music up, but after I re glued it back on, it never came off again.Plus, if the mirror fell off like that, it was probably because the glue was already letting go and the vibrations from the bass just made it happen faster, since the bass alone would never knock the mirror off the glass like that.
