Hi Rick, sorry to hear about your mirror. I had the same problem over the weekend, some muppet in a van was too far over and took out my drivers mirror. Killed the surround and mirror cover, luckily the glass wasnt broken. ... I was surprised how much the covers are so will rebuild mine with fibreglass.
Do you know what options your car has regarding mirrors? Chromatic, heated glass etc. On my car, i think the lh glass has been replaced at some point, it has a slight curve in it compared the rh glass. It is sometimes distracting, so its worth making sure you get the right type. Hopefully someone can advise.

Electrochrome dims like auto dimming. I've got electrochrome but they don't appear to have a blue tint. You'll know if you had em or not it's that noticeable.
