Default 1981 Visor and Vanity mirror

Howdy all. I was hoping someone with a later C3 with the passenger side vanity mirror might snap some pics of theirs. Better yet, if anyone has replaced this mirror and has some guidance I'd be grateful.
My car was missing the mirror when I got it. Looking at the pictures of the parts for sale (the mirror and visor seperately), I think my visor is in good shape relative to what's out there (with the holes cut out, etc). I have no idea how the mirror attaches though.
I kinda was hoping someone could post a few pics of the bottom and top of their visors so I could have a better idea what direction I should head before I put money into this. Those parts are crazy expensive and I'd rather not guess at what I need or not.
My AIM isnt much help, and I hadn't seen anything on the forums where there were actually pictures.

Thanks in advance.

Here’s a free weekend bump for a neighbor. Forum member Street Rat has a nice 81. If he sees this thread, he just might be able to help you. Good luck!

There are plastic adapters that fit into the holes in the visor. The studs on back of mirror push into those. The mirror is larger than the visor and really doesn’t look like it belongs there
