Greetings all, I managed to break the visor mirror loose from the visor.
 Seems like all I can find is the $90-100 replacement of the complete
visor.  Anyone have a source for just replacing the mirror assembly? I
just can't bring myself to glue it to the visor.

Thanks, Z

I did the same on the pass side of my C5.  Flimsy plastic.  very
disappointing for a $50k auto.

They would have made it out of good old American cast iron if it weren't
for the weight penalty.

carbon fiber has no weight penalty... I am sure its an accountant's
decision.

Heck, my entire driver's side visor disentegrated one day as I flipped
it either up or down. The particle board inside just fell apart and the
thing was hanging in my lap. I had to replace the entire assembly. Wish
I'd have saved the mirror part so I could send it to somebody.

Why can't you just glue it back with some silicone caulk or similar?

I was really trying to avoid the whole idea of gluing it...It is
starting to look more likely now. Thanks to all for the tips and advice.
