My passenger-side mirror has a broken lower bracket. It's the aluminum or magnesium thin frame piece that holds the mirror to the door and pivots when moving the mirror housing in or out. I've tried to repair it with J.B. Weld several times, but ultimately the glue keeps breaking at the joint. I'm wondering if anyone has tried a repair that works better than this. Maybe tack-welding the broken joint? It cost me $600 last fall to have the driver side one replaced at the dealer. I have sourced a new one online but it's about $400 for the mirror housing alone.
The brackets seem like a crappy design...way too thin and fragile for the application. Thanks for any guidance.
