like, its REALLY loose
is there some sort of tensioner inside the mirror housing that i can tighten, to make it... tighten?

and as an aside, what, if anything, can i do to my JDM stock headunit to get it to read the north american radio range

You'll likely have to replace the mirror. This is pretty common. You should be able to get one for little or nothing as I'm sure lots of people have them around.

You'll want to get: http://bandexpanders.comze.com/1_2_Products.html for your radio.

Part #92030PA000 Rear View Mirror Assembly

List $55.00, though I am sure you can do a bit better on the discount.

If you are going to replace it, might not be a good idea to get a used one that would have the "common problem"
I replaced mine with a auto dim compass type (Subaru forester) type and love it!

+1 for autodim. I had one in my 2007 Legacy and loved it. I have been contemplating one for the Ebony for quite some time.

I don't have a pick but I can take one. Just check with a dealer and you can get the kit. I can get the subaru kit # if you have any trouble.

I can attach installation instructions to a reply here for you if they don't provide enough information. It glues on the windshield and you can make it look like a factory job! I love mine!
