Default Loose rearview mirror on C6

You're screwed. The window man leaned and/on or rotated the mirror while
pushing down on it and sheared out the die casting's snap ring groove. It
can be fixed by removing it and recutting the groove a bit wider/deeper and
using a bigger snap ring. Big hassle and may still lead to a new mirror. The
last C5 I did was not worth the effort (she hit the garage door while
backing out) as it doesn't have enough metal to use 2 snap rings and a wave
washer that was require. Had to epoxy the top snap ring in to keep it solid.

Window service owes you a mirror.

By the way the other C5 had it folded back and forth ever time it was put
in/out of the garage for over 2 years.
