Looking for Honda CR-V rear vision mirror

I'm looking for a rear vision mirror for a first-generation
(1997-2001) Honda CR-V. I would buy it, new or used, from anywhere in
the world. Any suggestions about where this rear vision mirror can be
purchased will be greatly appreciated.

This rear vision mirror is an external accessory, a convex mirror that
is attached to the top rear lip of the vehicle. The face of the
mirror faces down at about 45 degree angle and offers the driver a
view of the ground when looking at this external rear vision mirror
through the internal rear view mirror. The back side of the mirror
faces up and the casing is made of black plastic. This rear vision
mirror really helps to see what's behind the vehicle, especially in
tight parking situations.

http://www.autobodypartx.com/honda-crv-2000-car-parts.html lists in the right
column under "2000 Honda Crv Exterior Body Parts," "rear view mirror." The page
shows an 800 number at its top.

A number of other possibilities come up when searching at www.google.com using
the words: honda Cr-v rear mirror 2000 . Typically those selling car mirrors
have 800 numbers.

You have called a dealer to see if they have this, right?

The part you describe sounds like it was added by a previous owner.

Anybody else ever seen a mirror like Natasha is describing ????

Actually, yes. I have. It was on a silver CR-V on Highway 401 one day. It
looked _exactly_ like the mirror she describes.

It appears to be called a "rear cross-view mirror", and is commonly used on
delivery vans and school buses.

Two links I found which may be helpful.

Thanks for the links and the toll-free numbers, but I've had no luck
so far: no one has this mirror. Another name for it that I have
encountered is "rear under mirror". So now we have three potentially
correct names for it:
* rear vision mirror
* rear cross-view mirror
* rear under mirror

I am the original owner of my 1998 Honda CR-V EX, and I had this
mirror installed by the dealer before the vehicle was delivered to me.
The mirror was offered in the dealer's parts catalog and the price in
1998 was $100 CAD. Unfortunately, the mirror got damaged recently, so
I'm looking to replace it. The dealer's Parts Department has been
able to find the Honda part number for this accessory:
08V04-S10-300
they just cannot find the part itself anywhere.

Over the years I have only seen this mirror once or twice on other
Honda CR-Vs. My CR-V is silver and I often drive on Highway 401 in
the Toronto area, so it may have been my vehicle that Tegger had
noticed.

If it has a part number, then there is a recorded vendor somewhere that has
this.

Give me a day or so. I'm sure I can locate this part for you. I'll report
back on Monday.

That is exactly what I thought; it might have been your very vehicle (the
one I saw was driven by a lady). I am on the 400-series highways
regularly. And when I saw it, I thought that that mirror was a great idea.

 

I have talked to my Canadian Honda dealer's parts department and they
have enlightened me on four things about the external mirror I'm
looking for:

1) Part Number 08V04-S10-300 is officially described as "rear under
mirror".

2) This part was made by Honda and offered as an original Honda
accessory for first generation CR-Vs (1997 to 2001).

3) There is no stock available in Honda Canada's inventory system.

4) This part has been flagged as "discontinued".

If anyone in the USA has the ability to check the Honda USA's
inventory system for part number 08V04-S10-300 "rear under mirror",
please let me know!

I just checked
http://www.hparts.com
and
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

Both come up blank.

My advice would be to find out from Honda Canada Inc. who the vendor was.
1-888-946-6329. You might have to be persistent here.
