So I'm driving home from the gym just now and I go to flip the little switch on the rear view mirror and it snapped. A little piece of the plastic broke off and went flying. So now, the mirror only stays only in the nighttime mode if I hold it forward in the regular, it works, but as soon as I let go, it flops back to the dark. Any idea on how to fix it?

I have the problem too, car was like that when i bought it. Its a cheap piece of japanses plastic that broke and looks like the previous owner tried to glue it. I just picked one up at a junk yard for 10 bucks.
