Side Mirrors hitting the window

Due to all your comments I went out and double checked the clearance and the knowledgeable people on this forum are correct. There is about 1/8 inch clearance. The sound is the stops and not hitting the window. I stand corrected. Thank you.
But that leaves me with the realization that the service writers and the mechanics at the dealer were either not telling the truth, didn't know what they were talking about or just didn't check the mirrors. Three service writers stood there and told me they checked my truck and two new ones and they all hit the window. (The day before Christmas and they didn't have much else to do). Yes Hit. And they stood there and agreed it was a design defect. And they told me the mechanic also tried to adjust the mirrors. Well if they weren't hitting just what were they looking at and what was adjusted? I just had them install electric steps. Hope they did that correctly.
On an unrelated note testing is being halted on the Ram and Jeep vehicles at the testing facility in Yucca, AZ. They also test Harleys there. A friend of mine has been a test driver there for years and they are slowing letting them go.
What? A dealer service department that says something they had no knowledge about? Were untruthful in explaining the work performed? Say it's not so! I am astonished!

Yea, I know, they are the experts right?
 
this article from 2020 says it is still open
As I mentioned I have a close friend who has been a test driver at the Yucca facility for years. They are laying people off. And they won't tell them when their last day will be. They are taking it week by week. Apparently maintenance of the facility is also slipping. I'll try to get an update tomorrow. Harley is still testing there.
