Reviving this issue years later. What's been the best solution considering Canon taking care of it is a no go? Thanks!

@omarsantana , omar , I recommend not fixing it yourself, not impossible, incorrect placement or uneven amounts of glue on one side or dry unevenly, image viewed by the mirror may be a bit distorted. Canon may fix it for free as there was sort of a recall(not positive as it is older). See 1st link below.

If wanting to give it a try yourself the other links may help in reinstalling the mirror. Good luck. I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button.
