Broken mirror mount - need fix !
 
Trying to get a new mounting bracket for passenger's side mirror. Mirror, housing, gasket and motor all intact & work OK, but mount bracket is broken. Suggest how to order a new one or better yet, reliable adhesive/method to repair it? 1998 E320 wagon. W210 body. Suggestions please!

w/o knowing the exact nature of the fracture, it may be challenging to know
how best to advise you. got pic? how did it become broken? you referring
to the bracket base...where the three mounting screw holes are located...
or what?

This is the base bracket, has the three holes. The fracture looks like a clean break, not shattered. Not sure how it happened, just noticed it one day. No paint chips or dents to indicate a hit. Np pic' but can take one and send along. I thought maybe an epoxy like JB Weld or West System. Didn't want to make a bigger mess, before asking a few questions.

was hoping to see a pic or two but absent any, i guess you may have fixed it
yourself. it's not a high load mount and depending where the crack is, may
be an annoyance at best.....or something that needs welded (to fill the crack).
another idea would be to shim with small metal stock to reinforce the base of
the mount and secure it all together. there is a little room beneath the rubber
gasket to make this work. good luck.
