All,

Accidently hit the right wing mirror with a pole while parking.      Thankfully, not much damage has happened but the top of the  mirror is coming apart.
Could you guys please give pointers of fixing the mirror? I'm sure it can be done DIY but I don't seem to find any video or image instructions online.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The black trim clicketh into place 

So, have you attempted to push it back onto it's clips?   

If you have and it is so damaged that it will not clicketh back onto it's retainers then you'll have to whip the glass out and have a look.  To removed the glass you will need a screw driver or similar levering device with some padding wrapped to prevent damage slot the levering device under the glass from the bottom then be brave and lever the glass out.   Having removed the glass you will now see the srews holding the black trim in place.

The dealership will advice you that you cannot buy the black trim and attempt to sell you the whole mirror, for which you will need to re-mortgage your home.   So, it's off the the breakers/scrappers to find a replacment which may be slightly different to your one and need some gently butchering.

Voila job sorted.
Good luck

Or if lugs damaged and need to replace, push back flat with say bluetack to hold in place until you source replacement.

Do not use super type glue unless you don't intend to replace

"Asa" seems to have covered it very well! If the mirror is still working fine with regard to electric adjustment etc, but the retaining clips are broken I would just glue it with Loctite 401 glue permanently (not superglue, which is crap)

Thanks Asathorny and others for the help.

I did try to click the trim back into the slot but no luck. Thankfully, the mechanical movement seems to be unaffected.
I did see some glass mirror removing videos; not sure that I will be able to pull it out without breaking. Anyhow, will give it a try tonight and see if I have the courage to go through it 

Else dealership it will be.     If their quote does break the bank, I'll stick it with the glue.
