Another car hit my right side rear view mirror and the metal hinge inside broke, and now the mirror either hangs from the cable, or slumps while held in place with duct tape. From what I have been able to find searching for parts, the price for a new mirror insides, without the cover, is over $1000, which is ridiculous. I have seen lots of posts about bad wiring, but nothing about a broken hinge. Any thoughts about what I might do? I need concrete suggestions about what parts to buy and where to buy them, and whether I can do this repair myself (I'm handy). I'm stuck, so I will appreciate any assistance.
