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.
