Default Replace mirror parts

The glass of my passanger side has broken because of an accident. some mounting parts behind the glass were also broken , so I had to replace the whole mirror.

After installing, the power folding didn't work. I figured out there are mirrors with and without power folding, so I bought the wrong one

Is it possible to rebuild the mirror with power folding? Can I switch parts between the two mirrors, so I can build one with the power folding motor?

Just dismantle the broken power folding mirror, dismantle the new mirror and make one mirror that has everything?

Is there a way to install the new mounting parts into your old housing? That may be easier?

I think it's hard for me to explain what i mean. What i meant are the parts that mount inside your mirrors that adjusts the mirror, not the folding in and out mechanism.

I've got them both.

It's very easy to replace parts, especially when you have this manual:
http://www.muthco.com/epapers/21000960.pdf

But, is it possible to replace the power mirror motor?
It's this thingy:

The sticker says:
H5-1825
CELDA "H5" D-47096

If it's replaced with a new one, then I can sell the old one
