Side Mirrors?
Had my passenger side mirror riped off at the car wash today. It looks like it is held on with three metal pieces that are pressed into housings. Can I just force this back on or do I have to do something else?

Not sure about all the mirrors but some are held on my three metal pins that go into clips.
Yes, you just force it back on carefully.

Definitely screw the car washers. Those posts break off and if they do you have to get a new mirror plus paint. Very expensive.
My drivers mirror has one broken post but it holds very well with the remaining two.
