mirror assemblies, '98E320

OK, now both of the mirror assemblies are shot, and both suffered the same fate. The "foldable" feature turns out to really be a "breakaway" feature. The rather hefty spring that holds the mirror from medial rotation (mirror assembly folding aft/toward door) is held in the front by a substantial catch but the rear (lateral/away from the car) is held by a flimsy pot metal (I think) hook. This hook, on both assemblies, has broken away and the assemblies are otherwise free to flap inward toward the doors. Both at the hands of "helpful" parking lot attendants who folded the mirrors in to gain an extra two freakin' inches of parking room. Can't fault them, the mirrors are supposed to be foldable?

Any way to find used assemblies? The shell, mirror and motor assemblies are all fine. Don't make me put the rubber bands back on.

Thanks,
g
