I bought my 68 ELDO in 1973.  I soon figured out that I needed a righthand mirror.  I went to the dealer and they had one in stock.  I mounted it on the car and it was a help, but it was a flat glass mirror so was not real helpful.  I found the dealer also had a convex mirror glass replacement that has an adhesive back.  I stuck it to the flat glass and it works well. 
Check with an auto glass shop, I was able to get replacement mirror glass for the wife’s car.

I used the same clip on convex mirror on my '41 because a right hand mirror just doesn't work well. The clip on works quite well - solved the problem and I can unclip it if I show the car.

I'll look for an adhesive back mirror solution, as that would be fast and reversible. Given this has the remote adjuster, I'd be hesitant of having to remove the old mirror without damaging the mechanism (actually don't have a clue what's in there). Thanks, Dean
