Rear view mirror

[MASTER240SX]

Hi all
Just picked up a black Ex sedan last night.
this morning I was adjusting the rear view mirror and it fell off. It has a base that I have never seen before. I got it back on but it falls off if I try to adjust again.
not sure if anyone has more knowledge on the proper way to mount.But any help would be appreciated.
and yes I know it’s under warranty but I don’t live anywhere near a dealer.
The base looks like it’s supposed to twist and lock but it does neither.
Thanks in advance

A picture of the windshield side would be helpful.

Just go back to the dealer - they SHOULD fix it on the spot for you

Did you have any luck with this? My mirror just got bumped off and I have the same the results - doesn't seem to solidly mount back in place.

I’ve taken this mirror off and on a couple times now. First you place it in the groves, then you twist 15 degrees to lock it in. Very easy but took me an hour to figure it out.

This just happened to me. Worst design I've seen for a rear view mirror. Took me also about an hour to figure out wtf happened

Take a closer look. It appears to me that there should be 4 black plastic clips (which would correspond with the 4 standing metal prongs). Apparently the clips broke, likely during assembly. There’s no way it’ll hold together to the mirror mounting bracket without the clips.

Things like this happen sometimes. Super annoying, but considering how many thousands of cars, which get partly assembled by people, there are bound to be mishaps here and there.
