M3 Mirror Fell Off
-
Hey all,
I was in Chicago this weekend and came to my car after not driving it for 3 days to find that my driver side mirror popped off. There was no collision damage so I'm assuming somebody tried to force it off, or maybe the windy city got the best of it. As you can see in the picture it's hanging on by the wire and all three of the pins are in tact. I've read a few posts that say "just muscle it in", but it seems that I'm pushing into nothing. The pins aren't engaging with the sockets, at all.
Any insight into this fix would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Jordan

they are designed to pop off like this incase they get bumped so they dont just break. could have even been that someone who was walking bumped into it. anyways, you are right they pop back in, align them best you can, push the bottom two in first, then the top one.

Ok thanks, I'll give it another try...

The side mirror is back on! It took some blunt force rather than just pushing really hard.
Thanks for the tip!
