The cheap solution is to glue a new glass of the correct size over the
original.  They can custom cut the size.  I've seen them on line somewhere
too I think.

Pretty hard to find good glass as that goes first.  Some on ebay now though.
  I was lucky and paid 50 bucks for a cracked mirror housing with the motor
I also needed and it had good glass.  Dealer wanted $110.
