You can got to any auto wrecking yard and pick any mirror that you like,
any mirror that glues to the glass and remove it. You'll need to buy an
adhesive kit from your local FLAPS and scrub the location on your
windshield that you want to install it. Scrub that small mounting spot
with BonAmi, Dutch Cleanser, Comet Cleaner ..... any light abrasive. Just
glue the mounting base to your windshield and tape it in place for 24
hours.
You'll then be able to see better through your back window IE who is
currently tailgating you.
