Fixed it. Thanks guys. Great tutorial.

Sanjeev, i was able to fix without gluing it. The plastic raised sections were still mainly in tact so i just snapped the lever back into its place and gave it a nice squeeze with pliers to be sure it was tight.

had this problem, fixed it using that link's info.
basically pull off the painted portion of the mirror using these instructions http://www.xoutpost.com/attachments/...g?d=1172692777

then one you get the mirror trim off, follow the cables around til you find the switch, slide the switch out from its hiding spot. the switch should have a flat metal peice with a U shape at the end of it, kinda like a little dipper. make the U portion of the metal hinge thing less of a U and there you go. put back together half way and test it first.

i did only my driver's side and it fixed the problem.

the link with explanation inside the link that you have provided (sorry :D) is dead...I wonder if anyone was not able to open the instructions :confused:
