Hi Everyone
Thank you all so much for your inputs. We worked on the mirrors today. The bad news was that there was more damage internally that I had originally thought. However this was repairable with some glue as they were not major structural issues. With more strength than I can muster (thanks Arnold) and a some major insights (thanks again Arnold) we were able to reconnect, all the wires and metal "guides" and press the upper mirror back onto its pivot points. It works fine.
The lower mirror is another story. The cheapest so far (on my own - 1/2 hour search) that I can find is $70, and I am not sure if it is even the right one. It is totally shattered although the backing is structurally solid. The glass will probably start to fall out with any appreciable vibration. So another search is in order.I intend to follow-up on the leads posted here. Part of the problem is the exact part number. This was not a stock item, but a special order in 2008. Most of the items shown are not extendable powered, heated glass (no longer) with turn signal indicator. Most are the wrong shape.
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks
Bill

OEM pair new in box for $320 shipped
Pair of aftermarket for $300 shipped

Of find just the one side you need for under $200 shipped. Search for "silverado towing mirror 2008 signal" on Ebay.
