The drivers side door mirror was clipped by an oncoming truck while crossing a country road bridge yesterday.
The frame is still intact, but the glass is gone.
Where do I get a replacement glass? and can I install it myself?

Really don't want to try driving back home without the mirror!!!
thanks in advance.

IIRC walmart has some plastic cutable mirror like material that should get you home before a permanent repair.

You Didn't say what year your RV is but if it is a newer one
it is most likely a Velvac Mirror

HERE Is a replacement glass from them, you can order from Ryder or Velvac
Scroll down and there are others there too.

If you know the model # (found on the bottom of the mirror) you can order from them. You can call Velvac @ Toll Free: 800.783.8871

They are very helpful, all you need is the model number and they will walk you thru it.
Good Luck and let us know how it works out.

If you have what I'll call "Custom" Velvac mirrors mounted on one long arm, a glass shop may be able to fix it. If not, should be able to give you a lead.

We have the basic "rental truck" mirrors as pictured. You can get a complete head that'll mount pretty much anywhere.



Even the chain store auto supplies that are open every day should have a replacement glass for something, and some double-sided tape to attach to what's left of your mirror.

Improvise till you get where you're going then work on details.

If it is a standard mirror a parts store may have it also. Even if its not the right one it might be good enough to get you home until you can have a glass shop make one for you.

Any auto glass shop should be able to replace, In my honest opinion.
