Mirror fell off

[Cosmic Light]

Yeah, this has happened a couple times now. Adjusting the rearview a little before driving, and down it goes, right off it's little bracket, which thankfully stays perfectly attached to the windshield. Because the mirror is on a simply bracket and simply slides over it, putting it back up, is a simple thing I'm easily able to do myself while sitting in my car (500, sport.) Still, I'm concerned that it might wear something out over time. And also of coruse I wonder if a mirror should be coming off like that at all. Anyone else's ever done this? I think its got to do with stiffness, because there really isn't a lot of give when I go to make adjustments.

Hi. What comes off??

Mirror and stalk..ending with the ball..?

Or the ball with the SHOE that goes into the screen mount??

Possibly had a new screen..and the mirror mount has never latched into the 'SHOE'

if it comes off again I'll ty to get a picture of it before sliding it back in. That would more than likely give everyone a better idea of what I mean. But to explain the best I can, basically the mirror slides over a little foot type thing, which stays mounted to the window. All it's doing is sliding right off the silder, which is a flat piece. On the mirror side of things, there was two little divots which slide right over. Sorry. Its a very tricky thing to explain. When the mirror is off though, the ball is still attacked to it, and it can move around good as ever.

Not latching into the SHOE then.

Possibly missing a vital clip :retaining feature..

A pic would help LOADS..
