Never use a dealer. Their idea of a fix is replace, an expensive one at that.
Pop along to your nearest windshield replacement shop. Have word and I bet they have a simple, cheap solution. Probably in the form of a 1 inch square sticky tab. If you think about it when a windscreen gets smashed they have to rehang the mirrors, using the tape I mentioned earlier.
Let us know how you get on wont you?
Update.
Just looked them up on flebay for you. I know this is the UK site, where I am, but I am sure the ones in the US have them listed too. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311.R4.TR 12.TRC2.A0.H1.Xinterior+mirror+.TRS0&_nkw=interior +mirror+sticky+pads&_sacat=0

Hi Bob
What type of gorilla glue did you use? I have the same problem. Super glue and the kits you buy don't work as there's actually a raised rim on the mounting button so only the top edge of that rim actually contacts the glass... Seems nuts! Tiny bonding area unless you build up the area under the rim with a thick viscous type of glue.
Anybody else figured this out? Cheers Jeff
