Mirror Rattle

Hey guys i just installed a 12" sub in my 2008 cobalt coupe and ive tuned my amp and it sounds awesome. The only probably is recently ive noticed some rattling and I've figured out its actually my rearview mirror. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this rattle

Sounds weird, but I loosened the screw a bit on mine and it drastically cut down on the rattling. Still shakes but not audibly anymore
