Hi guys, longtime reader but I just joined to ask a question. This driver side mirror was shaky on my '07 1500, so after watching about a dozen Youtube videos the standard advice was to pry the mirror off from the top (the videos assure me this won't snap anything) and then maybe adjust the anti-shake arms or add some foam tape.
However, as you can maybe see, applying that force simply snapped a bunch of plastic parts - parts of the center ring on the back of the mirror are broken. On the motor housing, I think there are possibly supposed to be two white plastic pieces with a ball-end that hold the mirror in place, and I only see one. I could see it when I was prying it off, but it's not there now, so I assume it went flying off into the yard.
Am I looking at a whole new mirror assembly and a distrust of DIY videos, or is this salvageable? Thanks.
