How do you fix a broken door mirror?

I may have to hold off until monday to fix this. Maybe after work.
It really sounds as though the smart thing to do is to go to a yard place, and see if they have a matching color mirror.
The "zip screws" idea could work, too? Would need the screwdriver bit, and screw..

This, my wife had a habit of wacking the passenger side mirror on her last van. The RockAuto replacement mirror fit fine and I had it replaced in no time.
+1 on The Rock.
Coupon codes, and for a few $ more, you can probably upgrade to power, heated, and or puddle lamps
De-Uncontenting Ford products is always fun.

Try to find a good used one, the ones from Rock and other discount parts houses are not even close to OE.
Thats could be an expensive mirror on that truck, heated or auto dimming?
Edit: Plenty of used ones on ebay.

Or RockAuto. Might be able to find one cheaper on eBay though, depending on year/make/model. That's where I got the 4 I put on the 99 Grand Am. Never seen such cheap mirrors. Why GM thought 3 flimsy plastic attachment points was a good idea I will never know.

What part is actually broken? I can't tell from the tape and then non-tape photo? It almost looks like you are just missing the cover for it?
