I can't be the first this has happened to (mirror assembly pulling away from visor). Thoughts?

Same thing happened to both sides of mine, tried about everything from glue to nip and tuck nothing would hold them. For now I just have black rubber bands 2 on each holding them up. Seen good review of some on amazon that I believe were under $100 for both, much cheaper than corvette shops and going to be on my Christmas list.

There are some good aftermarket replacements that are better than the originals.

I fixed mine by taking them off of my Vert and not replaced. Much more visibility with them gone.

I would recommend getting a high-quality aftermarket pair, they are better made and will bolt right up.

I was lazy and bought new ones but if you want a do-it yourself project.

I used some double sided tape. Sort of works.

Just get a pair of aftermarket visors and you should be good to go for a long time.
