Description of the problem	I noticed that the rear view mirror was wobbling side to side while driving. At a stop light i attempted to adjust it. When i touched it the rear view mirror detached from the windshield. At first i thought that the adhesive had failed, but upon further inspection, i found that the glass itself had chipped out. This rear view mirror is equipped with an electronic compass so it has an electrical cord. I had to drive for several minutes with the mirror swinging from this cord. At the next stop light i was able to disconnect the electrical cord and take the mirror down completely. So there is a hunk of glass still stuck to the mirror mount and a crater in the windshield where this hunk of glass used to be. The crater is approximately 1. 5" long by 1" wide by 0. 093" deep. This occurred in a nissan xterra se equipped with a rockford fosgate sound system with subwoofer. When the subwoofer is in use at high volumes the rear view mirror does experience significant vibration. As an engineer, my concern with this failure is that during a crash if the rear view mirror detaches it becomes a projectile and has the potential to cause injury to passengers. (i was in a car crash in 1983 in which the rear view mirror in a oldsmobile cutlass supreme detached and hit a rear seat passenger in the head before proceeding out the rear window.)
