THis happened to my cam too. The mirror are being held on by two plastic tabs. In order to fix this you'll have to pull the mirrors out and break the tabs. Then use some silicone or epoxy to glue them back into place. Hold them on with a clamp for 24 hrs and you're good to go.

I'm not sure cause mine completly fell out before being repaired. They are held on by plastic tabs so you can try to figure out how to repair it without completely taking them off, or pull them completely off and glue them back on.

I just went to the junkyard cost me 40 bucks for both driver and passenger side. You have to be very gentle with those vanity mirrors theyre very fragile.
