Found them at Home Depot and bought 2packs of the 5/64 drill bits and cut to size. It's really the only way to go - if you reuse the pins they will bend again.

It depends on which joint. If it's the one where it clips to the windshield, there are some DIY fixes for that. If it's the round ball joint directly behind the mirror that the mirror itself pivots on, that one is probably not fixable. It sure didn't look fixable to me anyway.
When I bought mine that ball joint was no good and the plastic "legs" that press against the ball were broken. I included a new mirror in the purchase agreement since they are quite expensive.

I bought .078 piano Wire from a Online Hobby Store got like 6 Sticks 12" Long for $3.00 (Only way they sold) Took Mirror off Sprayed each Torx Screw with PB Penetrating Oil waited 5 minutes Un-Screw and used a fine Jeweler type Flat head to pry around and up the plate. Matched pin Lengths up hack sawed slightly longer than used dremel sanding wheel till length fit in pin pocket of Plate, screwed back together used Lock Tight Blue on each screw. Vibration cured! Original Pins weren't really that bent, must be some wear maybe they thinned out some since 2012 or 11 when ever car was built (2012 GS)
That was from my post 2 years ago, all still vibration free even with BlendMount Radar detector on mirror
