I just noticed my right side mirror is slightly detached on it's upper left corner. The glass from the solid plate behind.. If I press them together, it stays put few a few seconds then 'pops' back out, only about a millimeter or so, not much. As if there is adhesive there that is no longer sticking well.
Otherwise it's totally unnoticeable while riding, no shaking, etc. Should I attempt to glue it or something? Or just leave it be?

Re: Mirror glass lifting on one corner
Which model ?. OK, just checked your statistics, 2012 RT. I had a similar problem with mine Seem to remember fixing it with double sided tape.
Incidently, just remembered that the Dealer wanted to fix it for me but at that time they had a 3 week wait so hence I fixed it myself. I first noticed that there was a problem when the "rear view" became blurred as the mirror glass vibrated. That was about 4 years ago and it's been fine since.

Thanks!Sullivj wrote: My 2012 was the same.
Removed the mirror glass (and back),dripped in some superglue and held it together. It's been fine ever since.
I super glued the corner, held it down with small clamp. It's holding well and did not damage the inner mirror surface. I was afraid it might.
