Default side mirror help

I bought a used 93 civic DX and the side mirror on the drives side doesn't work, I was moving the handle to change the angel of the side mirror and all of a sudden i hear a snap, now the handle doesnt change the angle of the side mirror anymore i guess it disconnected or something, anyone know how to fix it?

Remove mirror assembly and inspect the handle mechanism. If it can't be repaired, try finding a used one at a salvage yard.

you snapped the mirror moving mechanism. this happened on my old 93dx. you need a new side mirror or the part that moves the mirror if that part is replaceable. i recommend going to a junkyard and getting the piece of out of a junked car's mirror and put it in yours if possible.
