your driver's side mirror glass broke? you can either replace the housing, or if you can remove all the broken glass you can replace the glass..

Order a JDM mirror from Muz. It has a convex shape like the passenger side mirror. This helps to eliminate the blindspot when the top is up.

That is great news!

I just ordered the "glass" from Honda, it was a bit less than $30. Is there a How To for replacing just the mirror?

Thank you all for your quick replies.

just pull the black plastic glass base..pull hard and fast. It pops off. Scrape some of the white putty from the old base to the new base. Then push the new base on hard. It pops back into place.

make sure it snaps. otherwise, it may fall off while driving...really.

i probably should have mentioned that i have spare glass and i would have mailed it to you for much cost of shipping ;(

the way i removed my glass was by heating it up first. i dipped the whole housing in hot water for a few seconds. you can also use a blow dryer.

Thanks tekstar! I ordered from Braman Honda, it was a special order but should be here any time soon.

I have been driving with a crack mirror for over a month now, not funny at all.

Here is my method for Spoon Hydro Mirrors but you can use the same method for the OEM one instead
