Dislocation of the side view mirror. No evidence of of exterior or interior dama

What is your question?

damage, I am able to pull the shell about an inch away from the mounting bracket on the leading edge of the door, just aft of the A pillar. It looks like it should re-attach and secure the shell to the mount by exerting pressure so the hinge mechanism grabs the inside mounting bracket plate, but no luck there.

Typically, this happens when an impact occurs. Damage to the mirror may be inside the assembly where you cannot see it. I would recommend seeking the guidance of a local repair facility to confirm. I don't think most places would even charge to look at this briefly and advise you.

Thanks Dave JM I spoke to my auto-body guy, not much help. I'll take it to my M-B dealer. Best regards, Geoff Harrington
