Do you have power windows?

Are the mirrors power, and or heated?

If there is not just a single screw holding that small triangular plastic panel, like newer ones then I can provide directions. I will need to know if you have power power or not because the window cranking handle will need to be removed.

If it is just the glass and not heated, any glass shop can cut you a new piece.
Clean and then scratch up the attachment points. Use some RTV silicone to attach it. Tape will hold it in place until it dries.
