I had a similar situation with a car when the aluminium arm and glass in the electric/heated mirror got broken. Dealer wanted huge money. Went to a breakers and got one for very small money. Took the thing apart and was able to separate the glass with some carefully applied heat and reassemble to make one good one. Even better was able to do it without opening up the car door to detach wiring.
A tip too. If you are mounting a new glass DO NOT use a lubricant of any kind to make it easier to pop the ball home. The mirror glass will simply keep moving out of focus when you ride as it wont resist bumps. It relies on the friction between the ball and socket to stay in position.
