I think that they all break. Two of my friends have 7's an they are broke in thiers and mine was broke too. I found a good one in a wreaking yard. Got the whole review mirror assembly with the unbroken lens for $15. I got really lucky on that.

Actually it's not the dome light lense that is the problem.
Yes it is getting broken, but the fault really lies with the rear view mirror. If there is slop in the install for the mirror, it pushes down on the lense and breaks it.
Tighten up the screws and rivets and use a tiewrap to keep the mirror held up correctly. That should keep the weight up off the lense.
