Angry I think my car is falling apart

Ok I don't know whats going on but everytime i get in my car I seem to find something else wrong. First my rear view starts falling off, then my sunglass holder wont open half the time, my passenger side door handle is loose, now my damn change holder won't close all the way. I'm trying to take care of her, but this shit is getting aggrevaiting. To make it worse I work 2 jobs and startup school next week so its going to be hard to find time to fix these. Any one have ideas on what may cause some of this and possible quick fixes?????

Damn dude. I think those are all fairly minor things and they may just need some adjusting. As for the coin holder, there might just be something blocking it.

If you want to stop by sometime, I'd be happy to help you try and rectify some, if not all of those problems.

Yeah i know they are minor but there damn annoying....The one I am baffled by is the mirror. I have to push it in every 5 min or so or it comes so loose i cant see behind me. if i wait to long it falls off. I have looked at it and cant see whats wrong and am lacking Ideas on fixnig it. The others i believe i can fix them. I just think they would be time consuming.

Helmet if i don't work sunday and you are free you wanna take a look at them??

Seems annoying, but minor. I'm pretty sure you have some loose change behind that coin holder keeping it opened. The way to fix it is to either take it all apart and clear the change or you can do what I did....Get rear-ended by some asshat....that fixed it.

I had the loose door handle too. The dealer fixed it though under warranty. All you do is tighten a screw.

Yo, K! There's a Checker here in town over by Target. I'm certain they have it. There's also an Autozone on Wilcox St. across from that Pizza Hut. I'm sure they'll have it too. However, I don't think they stick on do they? I was under the impression that it's some sort of camlock from what I've read. I could be wrong though. It might just need to be tightened up behind the sunglass holder or something. In fact, come to think of it, maybe the sunglass holder not wanting to open is related to the lose r/v/m.

for the "NOT AN ASHTRAY" compartment, i moved the door up and down while hitting the console right next to the door. about 12 cents fell out of it and it was corrected. as for the mirror, is it actually coming unglued from the winshield, or is the adjustment on the mirror just weak?
