[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1456679, member: 11508"] Another veteran and victim of this STUPID design defect. The POS "stay" is buried deep under ALL the plastic and snaps like a dried out wishbone almost spontaneously. Yours looks like it's at least in an accessible place that might lend itself to a repair, even without the disassembly. I made kind of a splint by bending and beating a piece of metal as close to the shape of the site of the break as I could, drilled it out and put a metal screw on each side and when it looked ready to mount, slathered it with JB Weld and crossed my fingers. It at least held the mirror steady enough to work, but it was hard to trust, being at such a thin point on the part. You can replace the part, or have it done, but it's a LOT of work (or a lot of shop time) and you've still got your mirrors held on by a pot metal part. So if you can do a fix, it's the way to go.
