After the incident happened I drove to my mechanic who told me that the "pin" had been broken. The mirror itself is undamaged. The frame holding the mirror is undamaged too. I have interior controls to adjust the mirror. Not sure if these controls are electrical or not. My mechanic used Crazy Glue to attach the two halves of the pin. Then he positioned the entire mirror apparatus to the car with duct tape. Needless to say, this is just temporary.

    Stop by your local body shop and have them order a new mirror assembly and install this for you when the part arrives

    Can you give me a ballpark figure of how much a new mirror assembly plus installation cost?

    I had this happen to my wife's car. You can get an aftermarket replacement mirror for about $30. If you buy the official Ford brand, it's around $250.
