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.

Re: Looking for Honda CR-V rear vision mirror
 

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.
