    I was trying to remove the sticky paint on the rear mirror and it just fell. I soon realized it was kept in its place just by a couple of plastic parts which were supposed to "snap" when reattaching it. One of these small parts is broken, and, as a result, there is no way to attach the mirror again. Please, tell me I'm wrong and there is an hocus pocus to fix it, that I am just not noticing. Otherwise... I have to tell you: Ferrari is just a lot of crap around a nice engine.

    That's a 100% factual statement.

    The workshop manual confirms your suspicion.
    "Refit the internal rear view mirror (A) on the respective mounting, pressing manually until the mirror snaps audibly into place." It's just the plastic clips holding it in place.

    New mirror is like $3k. Used ones available a lot cheaper. Just see if you have homelink or not.

    Wow... this is literally crazy. Everything, I mean. The ridicule plastic holding and the tag price. I always had the feeling that most of the magic of Ferraris was its expensiveness, now that I own it, I see this is sad truth.
