Rear view map light loose

Hi all - my rear view mirror is driving me crazy - the screw is very tight but the map light rear view mirror keeps angling down after hitting bumps in the road - any tips to tighten it all up?

A shim in the mounting slot, I used to use a small piece/s of 60 grit sand paper trimmed to fit.

Yep, when the screw is tightened all the way and the mirror is still loose, you need to take up some of the space in the slot where the mirror tab goes.

Fixed! Easy fix for the amount of headache it causes.
