Help, rear view mirror was knocked off its base.

Nothing appears broken but it is not easily snapping back into place. I tried pushing it pretty hard, locking the tab in the slot beforehand. I am afraid of breaking it.

Any ideas are appreciated.

 

Have you tried a youtube search for a video?

 

local tint shop..

my window tint dude always removes my mirror before he puts the strip of tint across the top of the windshield..

exactly how the heck those things attach is beyond me but the tint dudes remove and re-install them a lot.............just a thought

 

Not sure if this video is applicable for this Ford but it sounds like it's similar to your issue.
Hope it helps.
