| Description of the problem | While driving on the freeway, i hit a bump and the rear view mirror fell off it's attachment on the windshield. Rear view mirror was dangling down from wire. Checked with the dealer, stated there was a "campaign" ie. Not a recall for this issue so it's a known issue. My car being out of warranty, i purchased new rear view mirror mount adaptor from the dealer as car is out of warranty. New adaptopr shows reduced chamfers ensuring screws (too short?) engage properly. Installed new mount with blue locktite to ensure this thing will not be scaring the heck out of me again (while driving freeway speed) previous block and new purchase one do not show evidence of blue locktite.
