If it's the mount, pop the plastic cover from the roof panel and tighten the hold down screw. Oh you're metric so you may have to turn it left.

I called the dealer I bought my cube from and they said I would have to take it in to be checked and then if they determined it was broken they would order the part, then I'd have to make a second trip there for them to change it. The bigger problem is that my dealer is about an hour from my house and with the tolls would cost me $12 anyway. The place I'm getting it from is 5 minutes from my house. I'll spend the extra $4.Chompsticks said:

wholy crap!!!! mine just broke yesterday and there,s already a bunch of broken ones lol! this happen actually odd, everytime we leave the cube we leave the dog she is pretty much medium size so we always find the gauges all screw up one looking one way and the oter looking the other....anyways turns out the freaking dog manages to claim up there and lay next to the carpet shag......thats why the gauges are always off place but yesterday when i caught her i told her to get down off the dash freaking dog lol! she went down but she took the freaking mirror with her the whole thing came down lol! im like WHATTA HELL!!!!! i look at it and saw what everybodys talking about the whole mirror is held by a flimsy piece of plastic round shaped that is held to the base by some tinny looking clips another one down for nissan
but i wont bring it to the dealer or buy a new piece again...in the end is gonna do the same again and i also have the broadway mirror so i will find a quick fix to make it stay on pklace hard

Apparently Nissan designed the mirror that way so that in case of an impact the mirrors should fall off.... Thinking in my head... (As a flying projectile!)
I am not sure if I understand the point behind the mirror flying off in an impact though... To avoid possibly headbutting a solid plastic piece and a mirror into your eye or head? I mean that mirror could fly and hit the person in the rear seat instead!

damian666robin said:actually, when mine broke, I was going around a turn and the mirror almost hit me in a very tender area. It was a very close call. It's a stupid design feature. I'd rather smack my head into it then have it fall of and hit me in the fruit basket while I'm driving.Chompsticks said:Apparently Nissan designed the mirror that way so that in case of an impact the mirrors should fall off....

A friend of mine who is a big rig driver told me once that New York City has potholes that you drive down into and 5 minutes later you drive back up and out of the other side. I don't know............but we have really lousy roads here in PA too. Construction and maintenance practically year round. Some of the worst in the nation due to heavy traffic. All trucks headed to the northeast have to pass through PA
I don't know............but we have really lousy roads here in PA too. Construction and maintenance practically year round. Some of the worst in the nation due to heavy traffic. All trucks headed to the northeast have to pass through PAActually all mirrors are designed this way except the higher end ones clip off so they can be put back on. Nissan went the cheap route and used one time break off plastic. Then again when the expensive one breaks it costs a fortune to replace. Here is my Mercedes mirror on ebay and this price is used. I think I prefer the el cheapo Nissan idea.Chompsticks said:Apparently Nissan designed the mirror that way so that in case of an impact the mirrors should fall off.... Thinking in my head...

So my dog is not the only one to test the mirror. She got excited while I was washing the car, barking at the spray against the windscreen. When I was backing out of the wash bay, noticed there was no mirror!
As a safety device, if one travels as far as the mirror in a frontal impact, methinks the mirror will be the least of your worries.
If you do find yourself with a really loose mirror the following pics should help. And no, I did not try to get Nissan to replace this part on warranty, Kula paid for it from her allowance...
