Car: Dodge Stratus 97 ES
Issue: Driver side power mirror was ripped out of socket/housing, upon inspection it would appear
that only the "swivel screws" as I refer to them are broken. The dealer insists I would have to buy
a whole FULL NEW mirror replacement >.>
All they are - are 2 plastic screws that hold a plastic ball latcher in such a way as to allow the
mirror to be turned by the power device, that's ALL.
So it would look something like this ----[ o--- granted text doesn't do much justice
thats as close to the description i can give other than saying imagine a screw head that allows
a ball tip to be pushed into it.
The screw head is circular not square if that helps any. More comparable to drywall screw
mounting screw inserts perhaps.
Where can I get this part from? I really don't want to buy a whole new mirror from anywhere
if possible -.-

Its a ball and socket assembly and the pob with repairing it is nobody sells the replacement parts . Your only alternative is to buy a used one .
