Default Driver's side mirror glass fell out today.

I was backing out of a parking spot earlier today, and when I came to a stop I was greeted by the lovely sound of breaking glass.

My driver's side mirror glass seems to have somehow worked loose and fallen out, immediately shattering into millions of pieces.

Before I pick up the part from Pelican or similar - Anyone happen to have a left side flag mirror kicking around that they want to part with or cannibalize for the glass?

Key info to include would be flags or aero mirrors.

they all fall out eventually, the adhesive used tends to dry out in our hotter climes.

Replacements aren't very expensive and easy to install.

How strange, driving home today, my flag mirror glass fell off on the drivers side as well.

So off to pelican, but they only had the glass for the tear drops. Until I saw this thread with the handy post by Mark @ Pelican. I'll be ordering it today.

Unless I should just get the manual tear drops so it looks better on the track!
