My mirrors are aftermarkey ones and they looks identical to yours but when i take off that back piece i got a hole and access to the nut ??? If it was me i'd cut the hole in them and try fix it since theyre broken anyway, if it fails then no probs since you would be ordering new ones anyway.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'm just gonna buy the wife a new set in a week or two. Got some maintenance to catch up on with the cars first.

yours are like mine. It's just a socket the stem sits in and mine got a crack in it so now it's loose. I tried some glue or tape for more resistance but realized I'd need to get a new one. Maybe an after market like the one mentioned the next time I need to replace the mirror.

Ebay is FULL of cheap mirrors. BE CAREFULL of how cheap. Many of the China sellers have a disclaimer stating " This item may or may not be in perfect condition. Keep this in mind when ordering"

These guys have almost everything you need.

Yea, unless there is a specific brand name thing that I am just trying to see if I can get a good price I don't use eBay to much. Lots of cheap products are on there and a lot of sellers with to high o f prices.

It appears to be a trend on ebay as of late. Even GREAT sellers are raising prices across the board. No more 5 cent soda pop.

The first thing you'll notice about cheap mirrors is how they shake/vibrate. Also, a lot of cheap mirrors use flat surfaced mirrors. Coverage is limited. So, If you want to buy cheap mirrors, buy in a store so you can inspect and compare. I would not recommend buying on line.
