Default Rear View Mirror Rattle

This started on my M6 car the other day. I can see it vibrating over bumps. If I put my hand on it lightly, it's enough to stop it.

Anybody had this? Ideas? Fixes?

It's more than likely slipped off of the metal piece that holds it to the windshield. The one in my red car isn't even attached any longer. The mirror has a slot in either side of it that accepts the metal piece glued to the windshield. I believe there is some sort of adhesive that holds the mirror to the metal piece. I'd pull the mirror off while leaving the metal piece, add some liquid adhesive, and slide the mirror back over the metal piece.

Is there a screw to tighten?

Man mine rattles a bunch too. It's so easy to adjust, I really wish I could tighten it up
