Broke the side mirror =( HELP!!!

Washing my car and my loose side mirror finally broke off when i was drying it with the towel! Dang IT!!!!! I thought it was the screws that were loose, but it was actually the plastic that came apart. The only thing that held the mirror from not falling to the growned was the wiring. Don't u hate it when u find stuff wrong with your ride right before you go out!!!

So anyway, I found some longer screws and some washers and screwed the mirror back to the arm. Better than plan A (wrap it with black tape, since the Max is black). I know the dealer is going to ask for a kidney and an eyeball to replace them. I'll get some pictures so you all can see exactly what I'm talking about.

But I need to replace the mirror!!!! Can anyone help?

I wouldn't say a Chicago thing, but a city thing! It sucks to come back from your car parked on the street and find your side mirror dangling like a broke arm!
But in my case it was a little different.

K Pazzo...U know where there's a write up on re-installing OEM mirror?
