Default Where is the best place to get a rear view mirror? How hard is it to replace?

My rearview mirror is pissing me off.... there is a half an inch strip on the top half that is missing the fluid. I can't see much out of it and what I can see is not clear.

Just to mess with me the stupid strip is dynamic.... Some times it's on top half of the mirror... sometimes it's in a side way "u" shape and other times it takes a shape of a funny island thing.

Are all S4 rear view mirrors from 00-02 the same?
