    Hello TW!

    I recently had a steel bolt from a delivery truck smack into my front windshield... three months into my new 19 OR 4x4 :(

    I had Safelite replace my glass through that warranty I purchased trough my dealership. After the replacement I noticed my whole rear view mirror unit now giggles a bit if you pull/push on either far side.

    Still seems attached (attachment seems like a simple slip on method) but has anyone noticed this issue before? Would it be worth taking it back to Safelite and having them look at it? I’d rather not go all the way back for an issue they might not be able to solve.

    Thanks in advance!

    I would take it back and make sure it gets fixed. I had a similar issue with a car before and whenever I hit a pothole or any bump the mirror would be in a different position.

    That did the trick! Thank you very much sir!

    I figured it was something simple, there isn’t much to mess up on that unit at all but thank you all for the feedback!
