Rear view mirror : The Saga Continues

Rear view mirror : The Saga Continues
So I received the refurbished unit back from Sybesma yesterday,I waited until today to have the guys doing my audio upgrade & head liner to have them attach it. They give me a call & tell me they can't install due to a metal clip being broken. Now the mirror was sturdy as ever & was detached by a Safelite mobile windshield tech. about 2 weeks ago.
My quandary is, should I pursue Safelite to replace it or is it a lost cause & what are my options to re-install. The mirrors practically brand new now with the refurbishing. I will attach a pic & show the clip & any info. on how to acquire a new clip would be greatly appreciated. X308s are a rare find in salvage yards around here. I do know of a place with some XJ6s on hand to pull from, but would that be compatible ?
The metal clip looks to be one piece with a torx that holds it in place. Mine is broken off on the left.

I had to go thru some papers in the garage but i found a receipt for some old hard to find stuff for my XJ8. Take a look at this web site and drop them a line. I am sure they will have a mirror for cheap but with all of the items he has he might have just the bracket.

Anyone here know if there's any difference before I pull the trigger, please sound off.
