Rear view mirror fell off
 
Bumped the rear view mirror, it's was loose befor now it is super wiggly. Seems like it just clips in. I don't see bolt to hold it. Any ideas hot to fiz it

It really does block alot of the front window view. Has any one tried mounting a mirror on the dash? Sc

If you remove the dome light lens VERY CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY BREAK EASILY you will see that there are actually 2 bolts that hold it in place. Easy fix.

There is a break away feature that may be partially out of wack. The other day mine fell off and the bolts holding the base in were tight. I just had to push the mirror back into the slots where it breaks away from and its fine now.

I removed mine because it was causing terrible blind spots for me. Missed it for a long time, but eventually adapted to using the side mirrors only...

Yeah kent i was thinkin about doing this as well the blind spot it creates is rediculous when u have to duck around ur rear view mirror. I was gonna get a smaler mirror and put it on the stock point.

You can buy new ones from MazdaTrix. Kinda pricey but worth it IMO.
