Does anybody know how I could find a used one and how to glue it in? Obviously I wouldnt wanna replace the whole shutter/mirror box since the only issue is the missing mirror.

joeseph "smells like turd"  More info | Jun 24, 2012 20:23 | #2 you could always keep an eye on ebay for a broken camera and do a swap, but realisticly, if your one isn't still in warranty, your best bet is get Canon to quote for doing the job. some fairly old canon camera stuff, canon lenses, Manfrotto "thingy", and an M5, also an M6 that has had a 720nm filter bolted onto the sensor:

gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill.  57,738 posts Likes: 4072 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Jun 25, 2012 13:53 | #6 +3, but I have lost a mirror on an old Olympus film camera and I glued it in with cyanoacrylate (basically Crazy glue but I used rear view mirror glue instead.) It's a two part glue, put a little on the edges of the mirror and the other part on the mirror holder. Align carefully and attach. You have seconds to adjust if you miss and this glue will not let go once it cures. (seconds) Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I saw a large lot some store demo Rebel units (think they were XS's) on eBay very cheap once that didn't have a mirror, battery, or battery door (or any accessories). Mabye he bought one one of those types of things. Mr. the Kid.

I would say canon would be the only place where you could get this alignment right, that's probably the reason why the mirror box is sold as one piece with this alignment set right out of the factory 1Dx, 1DM4, 5DM2, 7D, EOS-M, 8-15L, 17-40L, 24 TSE II, 24-105L, 50L, 85L II, 100L, 135L, 200L f/2.8, 300L f/4, 70-200L II, 70-300L, 400Lf/5.6

Everything its in its right unmodded place and I managed to get a mirror. Anybody can suggest me an especially sticky glue that could be used? btw I used a hair dryer to remove the mirror from its place coming out of a 40d and it came off pretty easy...
