Corsa wing mirror

[LostSheep]

Had a minor collision with a pheasant late last night and it hit the driver's side wing mirror pushing it back to the window causing the actual mirror to come out of its holder. The mirror is still intact (no damage whatsoever) and it's still connected to the holder by a thin wire. Will the mirror simply push back into the holder? I've not had a chance to look at it in the light - just taped it up so I could get to work. It's an electric wing mirror on a '51 plate Corsa SXi. TIA

there should be a short spindle with a ball on the end, back of mirror, just pushes in to recess in wing mirror.
if you can understand that?????
