You may be able to get another piece of mirror cut to replace the  old.  I 
did that quite a few years ago.  It was cheap quality house  glass but it did 
work.  I later found a nice "parts" mirror in a  junkyard later and swapped 
back.  
 
If you take the retaining ring off (sets in a groove, right next to the  
mirror glass), and remove the glass, you can see how that ball setup  works.  
There is a metal strap that goes across the ball (to provide  friction) and is 
staked in place on each end.  I've heard of people  restaking that strap and it 
has helped with the floppy mirror syndrome.  
 
By the way, there is a spring behind the mirror glass to push it into the  
retaining ring and stabilize it.  Be sure to put that back in or the glass  
itself will vibrate around.  Don't ask me how I know.....
