Mine fell off two days ago while getting on the highway. As expected, the threads on the plate where completed stripped off.
I went to my Subaru dealer this morning to get it fixed. The first sign of trouble was the service rep who told me this is most unusual and is the first time he's ever seen such a thing.
Because I installed the auto-dimming mirror myself, he told me repair was not covered under warranty. I've got no idea how they figured that out but I expected to have to shell out cash. What I did not expect was the price they wanted to bill me for the parts: 180$! Labor not included.
To justify this price, the service rep told me that they cannot order only the adapter, they have to order the mirror AND the adapter together. I found this weird because on the order form there where clearly two parts: the mirror ($155) and the mount (25$).
What's more, they could only order the old adapter mount part (H501SSA040) instead of the new one (H501SSA041).
Anyway, I ordered the new part from subaruonlineparts.com. Hopefully this will solve my problem for at least a year!
