Default Driver Side Mirror

So my joystick driver mirror is having issues. The mirror will not go left. I see that the a wire/connection came lose from the back inside of the mirror. I can see a platic type tab on the wire end. So is that something broken or can I re-fix it to the mirror?

I see there are two bolts inside the house I can see. They are on the bottom of the mirror. The inside one...that should be interesting. The top to brace connections...those just pressed in or what? Guess I will be making a trip to the store for some more tools.

Will I be looking and needing a new mirror or Joystick kit....or both?

This is for a 2000 Z28

More than likely the tab that holds the cable is broken, so either super glue it or replace it w/ a new one.

I'm going to subscribe to this one. This just happened the other day to my Camaro.

Let me know what you find out.
