I drop off my car to get the tires balanced and come back to find this:
It looks like the threaded, springy piece inside is no longer threaded into the flag housing. Several questions:
1. Any chance this happened on its own (ie: not bumped?)
2. How do I fix it?
Is this a very common occurrence?
Grrr. Tire place has agreed to pay to fix anything. With that said, the manager is my roommate's cousin so I have to sort of tread lightly. And if there's an easy fix, I'm not against doing it myself. I just want a non-broken mirror.
