2018 Replacement side mirror glass?

Is it possible to purchase the glass/backing/etc for a driver's side mirror on 2018 Fit EX without replacing the whole mirror? My mom was on the highway and her mirror got hit with a piece of flying road debris which knocked the glass out. Unfortunately she was not able to retrieve whatever fell out. I attached a photo and it looks like all of the clips/attachments are good. Nothing seems to be broken aside from what's missing here. I searched here but didn't really come up with a conclusive answer. I checked the local pick-a-part inventory but they don't have any Gen 3's. I'm sure I could buy some junk on Amazon but don't have high hopes. I could always call the dealership/parts counter too but that's my last resort. Thanks in advance!

Hi. There are a number of online retailers of OEM Honda parts. Here is a link to a 2017-2020 driver's mirror sub-assembly. Note that you need the correct mirror for your trim level (e.g., if you have heated mirrors), so this may not be the exact piece you're looking for.

Once you find your part number you can search around for better prices if you want. You might also consider calling your local dealership once you have the part number - sometimes the prices are completely reasonable and you can make sure you're getting exactly what you need.

Local Junkyards.

Check your local auto junk yards. They could have the part you need.

Did that as one of the first steps. I ordered 76253-T5R-A41 for $88 shipped (original part). I would have spent some time looking around if it were my car, but my own mom is old and is nervous about driving around with no mirror. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Can anybody tell me if the initial picture of the housing looks right, or is missing anything? I got this part (https://www.hondapartsnow.com/genuin...3-t5r-a41.html) and the white plastic center of it snapped cleanly into the mirror housing shown above, as it should. But the glass just flops around on that center pivot point. I feel like there's something missing that's supposed to go between this plastic part and the mirror housing. I can hear the adjustment motors whirring but it doesn't seem like the adjustments touch the backplate of the glass. It's super weird.

EDIT: I found the part. Honda doesn't seem to individually sell the actuators, but after digging around I realized that you could get them on ebay for $29 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/164442147172) and that my Fit's actuator is indeed damaged. So I guess I'll be replacing that part too. I'll follow up later.
