No worries, there are plenty of other p-dealers in Philly area you can patronize in the future.

In the mean time, DIY fix is simple enough... just lay a bead of clear silicone caulk inside the housing where the seam is and all will be fine. Shouldn't take you but 30-45min tops to do and then let the silicone cure for a few hours.

Good luck
I would DIY it but does the mirror need to come completely off to do this?

Guess I assumed too much with this fix. To me, it seemed like the issue was so well known the dealers were fixing it as it was as known design flaw.
