Default side mirror bracket

Hey guys im not sure if this belongs in this section but wth...someone leaned on my trans am's side mirror and snapped the bracket. Its happend before and i used some cement kinda clays to stick it back together but im not sure if thats possible again. I would like to buy a new/used one to replace it. But i can't find just the bracket. Anyone know where I can get the bracket?

A parts car...maybe. Or junk yard if the plastic housing is no good.
Most places wont separate the bracket from the mirror housing. Your best bet is to just buy a replacement mirror. Depending on the color of your car, you might be able to locate a same color replacement for cheap.

I'm in the same boat. Someone rammed a shopping cart into my mirror when I was at work one night and it busted the bracket. Can't find it anywhere.
Did you have any luck finding one for yours?

Yes actually a member here on the site had a side mirror and separated the bracket from the mirror for me and sold it to me for 23 buck. Good buy.
