The other day I was driving slowly when I heard a bang and looked over and the passenger side mirror had fallen out and was hanging by the 2 wires feeding the electronics. I stopped and inspected it thinking someone had thrown a rock or something. There were no scrathes, dents, and I had hit nothing. I then looked at the back of the mirror and none of the plastic components or other pieces were broken. I was dumb founded. It looked as if it was just forced out of it'* hold. What had happened?

I went to the local German GM dealer and they were able to re-install the mirror and all seemed well. But apparrently they didn't put it in quite right because it'* range of movement seems off and it doesn't go back to it'* normal position after going from reverse back into drive. It also does not tilt up as far as it used to. I plan on taking it back but does anyone have any idea what might have happened? When I go into reverse, the mirror still tilts downward so you can see the curb but does not return to it'* previous position once you put it back into drive or park like it used to. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Well the GM dealer her was able to re-install the mirror and then I reset the DIC and everything is working fine again. I have no idea what happened. My only thought is that ther emay have been too much pressure on a spring. Nothing was broken and they just reinstalled the mirror. Once the DIC for tilting the mirror was reset all has worked fine since. Odd.
