Dylan's DIY Workshop how much would it cost to repair only one side mirror ? Specifically for a g35.

JB Weld is cheaper and easier to apply. Just grab a tube at your hardware store. No need for a caulking gun. Since it's a two part epoxy, it will set up faster and cure harder. Mine lasted for 7 years in cold/wet Seattle weather.

You don't have to plastic wrap the end of the caulking tube. Just squeeze until a little bit comes out the end of the tube and let it dry. It will act as a plug. When you're ready to reuse the caulk for something else, just pull out the plug - good to go.

We’re you still able to adjust your mirrors from the inside with the switch if you have one? Or is it basically stuck in one position?

+Judy Soto the tape that I used is tuck tape. It's the tape that you use for vapor barrier, it's as strong as duct tape without the webbing in it. I chose it because it is weatherproof once applied. You have to make sure that the surface is dry before you do this for both the adhesive to work and the tape to adhere. As long as the edges of the tape are held down and flipped up a bit. You should definitely be able to drive with it on there I drove with the tape on there for 3 days before I peel the tape off which gave the construction adhesive time to dry. I would leave the tape on for at least that long if I were you to make sure that it's it's dry. The mirror isn't quite as strong as it used to be but it's still much better than having to get it fully replaced.
