I did send mikey/mark a sample of both inner and outer plastic pieces.
I have plenty of outer frames since they don't seem to fall apart like the inners but they are sure a lot of work to reinstall. I wonder if they harden up over time.

Hi!
I have a follow up question to your hint :
" If you decide to switch it out, don't use a flat blade screwdriver to remove the plastic ring. It damages the edge of the stainless steel (understood)....but do lube up the spring and nut located behind the mirror, under the base and all the pivot points on the arm."

So if a screwdriver isn't such a good idea, how could you remove the old mirror glas without damaging neither the metal casing nor the plastic holders and the black rubber sealing ring? Any pictures here or in another discussion?
