so today as i was washing my car, i noticed that my right side view mirror is not fitting flush with the side of my car, it looks like somone hit it on accident and scratched the side marker too ... i was wondering if i can just pop it back into place or do i have to buy a whole new right side mirror? .... i sure do hope i can pop it back into place ... but idont wanna break anything in the process... so what do you guys think ??? heres sum pics ... THANKS

 

it doesnt look that noticeable unless someone is looking for it. Other than that, if everything still works fine i say leave it. Or try giving it a few hits to pop it back in?

 

yeah i know its not noticeable, haha but i dont want my mirror too just suddenly fall off while im driving or sumthing... lol

 

owwie... i think it can be bent back into place.. but with that cracked turn siggy. you might get water and condensation in there now.

 

well it rained pretty hard here today and no condensation ... LED still works fine too ... so ill just hope for the best haha

 

i'd use my palm and hit it. after all.. it is just plastic

 

...... you know the door is made out of metal right? that's probably what got bent..

 

UPDATE: so i took my car to the dealer and they said that they can try to fix it .... and the turn signal part was just scratched and not cracked, so thats good ... but heres what they told me ..... they said that their technician looked at all the other tC's at the dealership and said that all the right side mirrors on the tC stick out a little, he then said some of the bolts on my tC were loose so they tightend them and it sucked the mirror trim in more to sit flush at the top, but when feeling my finger down it start to pop out at the bottom, then he told me to look at the other tC's at the dealership to see what they were talking about ... and they did stick out a little but i wasnt sure if thats still normal ... so maybe someone can take a pic of their right sideview mirror and see if it pops out a little twords the bottom ... well heres what they say is "normal" and all they can do..

 

Good news about it being a scratch and not a crack!!! The crack would've been a small thing and a possible big headache. As for the mirror sticking out.. I can check when I get home and get back to you, but honestly if the other cars at the dealership were pretty much the same way then your stressing way too much.
