Default Busted passenger mirror...

Yesterday someone carelessly ran into my passenger mirror. Now its loose and doesn't want to stay in place. It looks like the plastic gear thats connected to the top half of the mirror broke off. Can I buy that plastic part or do I have to buy a whole new mirror kit. How bout Corvette panel glue?

I'm thinking new mirror. Do you have a picture? If you had a spare mirror for a parts doner maybe that would be the way to go. I have one. but I need to see what is broken.

Whole new mirror, no serviceable parts from GM. I got one from Fichtner for $127. It will need to be painted.

save your $ and time by calling ed swaneck @ 330-783-0083 ext. 15. he can fix your old mirror and guarantees the clip will not break again. this saves you having to have another mirror repainted. i heard about him on this forum and had him repair my passenger mirror. cost was arond $80 if i remember correcly.
good luck
