Answer
Hi Tessa,

If it's a clean break you can use a high powered super glue. Something like SEM's Insta-Bond Adhesive. I have personally used it on side view mirrors and it works pretty well. It lasted about 3 years and then when my wife was backing up she hit a tree with it and re-cracked it where it cracked before. I again used the glue on it and it lasted until we sold the car. You can find it at this sight: http://www.repaintsupply.com/pd_ib.cfm

I hope this helps you out.
