broken wing mirrors?

Interesting to read about all the wing mirrors breaking on Vauxhall cars. Within the past 13 months I have had 3 broken wing mirrors on my Vauxhall Meriva. First time the driver's side mirror shattered as I was driving along late at night. A short time later the other one fell out and smashed as my husband closed the passenger door. Then a fortnight ago the driver's side mirror fell off whilst parked. I found it when returning to the car.

It has cost me over £30 a time to have them replaced. Fed up with it! It seriously must be a fault. Could you please advise me how to prevent this happening again?

The mirror housing could be faulty, may need to replace the whole of the side mirror asembly rather than just the mirror.

Not aware of any problems/recalls regarding these.
