Home and Auto Auto Question Rear View Mirror Assembly

So I bought Mrs. Pete a new (used) vehicle this weekend 2013 Ford Explorer, and it was unfortunately caught in the hail storm last week so Carmax said they would fix it for free. Okay, great. Well I go to pick it up today and the rear view mirror is very loose and bouncy. So I took the plastic plates off that cover all the wiring and lane keeping camera, etc and it looks like the glue is giving. The mirror and plastic covers don't seem to be flush against the glass thus the shaky mirror. I didn't want to take it totally apart for fear of the mirror coming completely off. It looks like they had to take it apart to get the headliner off to fix the dings on the roof and that they just pushed the mirror back into the glue that was there and didn't apply fresh.

So, is this just a matter of them re-applying fresh glue?
