Question Interior Mirror - Please suggest options (140)

The 500SEL - 1993 140 Chassis

The interior mirror is completely automatic, and currently does not adjust for day and night driving. The motor works, but seems the gears are worn, as it does not return to the proper location, though it tries.

The dealer said the part of $1,100 without labor.

Are there options to find one used, that actually work.

By "actually work" I mean: adjusts to the different drivers and darkens when headlights hit it.

Also - Are there options to replace the automatic electric with a manual one.

This is actually a safety issue; as I do not use my mirror much at night – lights are too bright.
