I just bought one for my wife's Subaru from an Auto Glass shop. While I was there I asked if the had one for my 9K and low and behold they are readily available for the same price. I beleive it was a PPG catalog the glass store was referencing. They have the mirror (glass only)for $16. It comes with some butyl rubber self adhesive pads.
My glass has separated from the pad twice but both times I've been able to pull to the side of the road, roll down the window and grab the glass. The first time I used auto trim adhesive to re-glue it and it lasted 2 years. This time it was -8 degreesF so I removed the pad assembly and took it into the house. I used automotive double faced tape to completely cover the glass and re-attach it to the pad.
Others have suggested having mirror glass cut to fit but regular silvered mirror will not last, the silvering will eventually fail due to the ravages of weather/water. The mirrors are actually a reflective yet transparent glass.
