Hi all, last week i didn't realize my wipers were set in auto - poof, there went my passenger blade. i've seen washed the car twice (we've had a lot of rain here) - i check the wiper stalk at least 10 times before the wash now to make sure it's off. like, super off. today, i folded my mirrors for the car wash as usual - and saw one of the "hula girls" get caught in the mirror hinge. i tried to unfold - no dice. outside of the car wash, the hula girl was still with me - and hard to get out. the manager came out, (after i gently manhandled the mirror) and kept getting me to fold and unfold and the mirror just won't lock into place appropriately - i'm guessing either a gear broke or stripped, or some plastic part broke or stripped. either way, i have an appointment later this week at the MB dealership. i'm guessing this NOT a do it yourself thing - i wouldn't know how to get the glass out, and really don't want to muck around. the car wash hasn't gotten back to me yet - i filled out a report, and the manager said they may send me to one of "their guys" - heck, last thing i need is billy bob to monkey around with the mirror, and then have MB disclaim a warranty issue in the future regarding that mirror. i welcome any thoughts or suggestions. otherwise, just mentioning beware. https://aperfectshinedetailing.com/

last week i didn't realize my wipers were set in auto - poof, there went my passenger blade.
i've seen washed the car twice (we've had a lot of rain here) - i check the wiper stalk at least 10 times before the wash now to make sure it's off. like, super off.
today, i folded my mirrors for the car wash as usual - and saw one of the "hula girls" get caught in the mirror hinge.
i tried to unfold - no dice.
outside of the car wash, the hula girl was still with me - and hard to get out.
the manager came out, (after i gently manhandled the mirror) and kept getting me to fold and unfold and the mirror just won't lock into place appropriately - i'm guessing either a gear broke or stripped, or some plastic part broke or stripped. either way, i have an appointment later this week at the MB dealership.
i'm guessing this NOT a do it yourself thing - i wouldn't know how to get the glass out, and really don't want to muck around.
the car wash hasn't gotten back to me yet - i filled out a report, and the manager said they may send me to one of "their guys" - heck, last thing i need is billy bob to monkey around with the mirror, and then have MB disclaim a warranty issue in the future regarding that mirror.
i welcome any thoughts or suggestions. otherwise, just mentioning beware.
