Default Mirror Question

So recently I had a bit of an accident with my car a few major scratches, some dents here and there and a broken mirror. Is there still someway I can attach it or would I have to buy a whole new mirror? Here's a pic of what I'm working with...



I was looking at some service manuals and it looks as if mine is missing a few pieces =/ would I be able to put some kind of adhesive??? I need some help ASAP because driving like this is not very safe LOL

Wow - sorry about that man. It looks like a trip to the local junkyard might be in order and probably cheaper than buying the missing pieces (if you can even find them). I'm not sure driving around with a glued on mirror would be much of a safer alternative. Imagine the danger to yourself at 55mph with a mirror flying in your window - or the danger to everyone else for that matter. I vote junkyard replacement if you can get one.

Seems like I'm only missing the black tabs pictured here...I guess there some mounting screws or something too that I need? There are 3 bolts it looks like still attached to my car where the mirror was...

if the motor is still working im sure there are plenty of people on this forum that have their old mirrors after doing the agent 47 switch.

or you could always go that route, they are around $200 shipped from americanmuscle.com

Lol this time I wasn't drunk nor do I step into my car when I am
CHiP's woulda kept my Stallion and that would've been that..

I forgot to add in the other post I made. Agent 47's aren't something I'm into doing so that option is out.

JB Weld is probably the cheapest and easiest way to TRY. If it fails, you can easily find replacements for cheap on ebay. Or time for Agent 47 or even the 2010 mirror swap in white!

You can get a new mirror (installed) by the dealership for about $150 a piece...I've had the unfortunate experience of replacing them both (damaged by birds)...
