Hello! Need some MINI advice.

Hey, guys!

Whenever I have questions about my car I usually Google something and it leads me to this site where I find an answer. Can't really find an answer for this one.

My passenger side mirror popped off this morning (JUST the mirror) and I was wondering how I should go about this. Does a replacement by MINI eat up your wallet? Can I just crazy glue it back or something in place for now? Broke college student here, haha.

I have a 2010 Mini Cooper.

I'd glue it back. Don't use superglue, it won't stand up to vibration and will fall off again.

I'd use silicone adhesive.

I'd use some epoxy, it'll never come off again.

If you use epoxy, don't use fast curing epoxy, it is brittle and won't stand up to vibration either.

never seen one come apart like that, but looks like you can just glue it back on.
