Question
MY WIFE ACCIDENTALLY KNOCKED OFF THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR TO OUR 99 CHEV TRACKER...THERE IS NO WIRING...HOW CAN I REATTACH IT?  IS THERE A SPECIAL ADHESIVE AND TECHNIQUE INVOLVED?

Answer
The mirror must be replaced, plain and simple. They are easily replaced, and readily available through GM, or you might find one on ebay dirt cheap. To remove, simply remove the little triangular shaped cover on the interior side of the door, and there  are 3 bolts holding it on. Simply remove them, and bolt the new on on. Easy as pie. Bill
