Default Rear view mirror question

Is there anyway to tighten my rear view mirror? Just the mirror part.
It keeps tilting downward.

Thanks
Nick

Will take a look when I get home in the morning, as mine is starting to do the same.

And all this time I thought I was getting taller as I got older!

Has anyone fixed this problem?
I wasn't able to see anything to tighten it up.

Pull the mirror off. Bend the clip just slightly and it will go back on tighter.

Do you have the elecro dim mirror or standard?

This only works for the elecro dim mirror, worked for me anyway.
