crack in mirror

I bought new mirrors to put on my car. When I went to install them I noticed there was a small crack on the inside of the mirror where it screws into the door. Is there anyway to repair the plastic? Or should I toss it and buy another mirror?

Get someone with a plastic welder to put it back together for you.
