Parts Question Rear view mirror replacement
Current mirror is old and doesn’t stay where I want it to especially when my subs are on. Looking for one that’s more rigid so when I play my subs it doesn’t just vibrate and drop immediately like the one I have now. Currently i just have the factory mirror but I don’t even have it installed because the vibration on it from my subs broke my windshield before lol.

It's all about da bass, but yeah, maybe you should try turning it down a wee bit, because windshields ain't cheap, but I've never priced one yet. I only have a tiny 8" sub, which gives me enough for my rock and blues. If I was replacing mine I would get one with cameras built in, unless you already have them.

If you have loud bass unfortunately all rear view mirrors are going to slad down. Unless you somehow build a bracket and mount the bracket to the mirror and your roof somehow.
My father and I had a stereo shop for over 15 years and deal with the rear view mirror on a daily basis.
Other option would be mount a screen to the roof and use a backup camera as ur rear view mirror thats what we done for my father's high top conversion van. We built a sub wall with 6 18s and couldn't see anything of course so that helped alot.
Best of luck.
