Default Rear View Mirror

Does a business like Autozone or O'Riellys carry an rear view mirror that will work? My old mirror is fine, but the bracket that is glued to the window is broke. Without the bracket, the mirror is useless.

I found that JC Whitney carries a 8" mirror for $12.95, but the S&H is $7.99. I just am to cheep to pay for the S&H if I don't have to. By the way, what is the correct size for the mirror? The current mirror is 9.5" by 2.5". I want a smaller mirror if possible.

Yes AZ does have mirrors that work on a vette its just a regular GM part.
The AZ one is not the best of quality but will work.

Better yet - go to the junkyard and get an electronic-dimming mirror for
cheap $. (not $10, but for $25-50, it's a nice upgrade)

I've got a rearview mirror from a 95 Pontiac Sunfire installed. Its smaller than the original and has a much nicer shape to it. My original was loose and bouncy.

Best of all, I paid $5 for it and it mounts to the GM standardized windshield FOB, its black, and look like new. Auto dimming is hard to find in the junkyards.
