Cracked Mirror Glass

[Heli ATP]

Garage incident requires that I replace the glass in my left rear view mirror. I see lots of replacement mirrors for cars online, but not the FJ-09. Suggestions appreciated.

Same mirror, but I think it was the extreme cold over winter.  Pulled the cover off this spring, and it was cracked horizontally almost perfectly centred.  I looked around a bit, but could only find a matching mirror from a dealership.  So I'm $60 lighter and who knows when it'll arrive.  Oh well.

Much the same in the UK, dealership would much rather sell you a mirror for £50 rather than a bit of replacement glass for £5. With my previous bike it was easier and cheaper to buy a aftermarket pair rather than the stock part, they looked almost identical.

I may try and make a template and go to a glass place. Otherwise I may look at an aftermarket pair?

I don’t think it has anything to do with what the dealer would “rather sell you”, it’s a matter of how the part is sold. They don’t have individual glass pieces, the mirror is sold as a complete unit.
