Are you talking about where the mirror connects to the stem or where the stem connects to the roof?

If its just that the mirror to stem has gotten loose over time you can put a few drops of locktight on it. It will harded and make it fit tighter. As for the stem to roof one, I have tightened them down seriously tight and never broken one.

Good luck.

there's diy somewhere on the net where you can wrap electrical tape around the pivot ball to tighten up the gap, it just makes the mirror more firm, but you can still move it when necessary

side note, if your bass is so loud that screws are starting to loosen from their holes, you're doing some major damage to your ears

low level bass is not good for your ears at all
