Replacement Side Mirror Glass - advice needed

Hi! I need some expert advice. First, a little background: The passenger side mirror from my 2007 9-3 convertible fell off & shattered. I need to replace the glass ONLY, the backing plate & all the other “innards” & housing are there. I checked a few nationwide auto parts chains and it seems that I can only purchase a mirror replacement with the backing plate. Prices vary from $103 (RockAuto) to $189 (Advanced Auto Parts). I should also say I’m mechanically inept so anything that involves prying apart, re-wiring (pretty sure its a heated mirror), etc is out of my wheelhouse.
A quick Amazon search revealed about a half a dozen replacement glass brands ranging from $11 - $19. Some come with adhesive & some don’t.
My question: Is going the cheap & easy way (Amazon) the best way? It almost seems to cheap. Also any brands I should search for or avoid? The car is a daily driver.
Any advice on adhesives?
