Before getting the wind shield replace it might be worth to try gluing it back on. You do need special glue, but any DIY store would have it. There are some special mirror glues that are able to attach plastics and metals to glass.
On my Alfa Romeo Spider the latch on the windows of ethe front door are glued to the glass. One fell off.. I tried three different glues, till. Got the one thatorked. It was still a lot cheaper and quicker than replacing a whole window.

Update
so I bought a few types of glue. First one I’ve tried is loctite ultra gel. First took metal ring off of mirror and cleaned both surfaces. Then I glued just the metal ring to the windshield with the ultra gel and let that sit for 6 hours then reattached mirror to metal ring. Only been 24 hours but so far so good. Went over some bumps and it’s still up. Will keep you posted
