Just clipped a barrel going through a construction zone and it popped the mirror out of the mirror assembly on the right side. Am I going to have to replace the whole side mirror housing and assembly?Have a look at the pics:

You're probably best off buying a whole 'new' mirror at a junkyard (or maybe even a member here that is parting out due to an accident).

If you found the backing plate you can buy just the glass. If not, and the housing looks undamaged, you can also get the glass already mounted on a new backing plate. Search for the name "redi cuts" and "burco" burcoinc.com. I recently had to get glass for my '09 and this worked for me.

With this info, is #5319RSG the backing and #5319 the glass? Can I order direct from these guys or do I have to go through some third party vendor?

I found mine and ordered through hubcapsplus.com. It wasn't until I received the product that I found out who the manufacturer was (Burco). My glass only was part #5319 and I beleive the "rsg" is the one that comes with the backing plate. You should probably give them a call to verify and also check to see if it has the "blue posts" included with it that you see in your pic. There should be 2 of them that hold the mirror backing plate on, looks like you may have lost one.

Ok... they did have the mirror with the mount. $60 shipped. (Much better than the $400 the dealership wanted to replace the whole side mirror assembly) I went ahead and ordered it from the hubcaps place.As for that other blue post... I'm gonna go back out to the highway and look for it.
