Default "Tighten" Rear View Mirror?

Is there any way to "tighten" the stock rear view mirror? Every day on my way to work I go over some railroad tracks and it always makes my mirror move so I have to adjust it. It feels pretty loose when I move it around, is there any way to tighten it so it is harder to move? Thanks.

I would think that their isn't a way to tighten it casue im pretty sure its probably set up like a ball in a socket and the inside part has worn down so they are not tight enough toghter to hold it in place. If you don't want to have to buy one I would just put a bit of glue on it and set it and then if you ever need to move it just break the glue loose and move it. I don't know if you move your mirror around alot but I never touch mine so doin it ike that wouldent really bother me

yeah and as for mirrors falling off, you have to glue it. they even make a kit specifically for gluing the mirror on iirc.
