More than likely the bracket on the inside of the mirror has broken, this isn't fixable. These mirrors are a royal pain to take apart, you 'll need to pull the interior door panel off anyhow. Get a new mirror. You can find a new mirror online, try Franks Pontiac Parts. http://www.frankspontiacparts.com/usedparts/firebirdtransam3.htm

I can see the bracket and it is not broken, unless it is inside where the cables run through.
