Help Finding Part to Replace Broken Side Mirror Housing

[AB3]

Hello everyone, wanted to ask if I can get some help in finding a replacement part for the bottom of my driver side mirror housing. I was backing into a tight spot and knocked the mirror against the wall. Cracked the bottom part of the mirror housing. It’s just one plastic piece that clips in so I’d rather not schedule a service visit and just order the part myself. I just don’t see it in the catalog (the top piece is in there under skull cap for only $35) besides ordering a whole new $730 replacement mirror unit not sure what to do. It was too dark out to get a pic but I posted some screen shots showing the part. I'll get some pics of the damage in the daytime if needed. Clipped the chipped/cracked part back for now but want to get it fixed asap.

I have the entire driver’s side mirror that I had to purchase to replace my passenger side that the was sold me but was the wrong side. So I have it if you want to purchase it from me, I’ll sell it to you for the same price I paid for it, which was $535, not inc shipping.

If someone has the passenger side, please contact me.

Update, managed to find both chipped off pieces so I may be able to bond/glue it back together, sand down any rough spots, and have it still look decent. Anyone got suggestions on what to use?

If finding a replacement piece isn't possible and my glue job goes bad I may have to take you up on that offer. $535 is still a lot but I guess it's better than $730. I'll shoot you a message if I end up wanting to take it off your hands.

Good enough.

Curious, where did you find the bottom plate? I need one for the passenger side.

No I didn't find an entire replacement plate. I found all the broken pieces in the driveway lol that I'm going to attempt to glue back together. I reached out to service center to see if I can get the piece but I feel like if it's not available on the catalog site they won't be able to get me one outside of ordering a whole mirror assembly.

Why not get one of the CF trim pieces that are sold? You even included a picture of one in your post. Could always wrap it flat black if you hate the CF.

There may be a significantly cheaper version but here is the first one that came up when I googled:
https://www.tesery.com/products/cyb...vRxke7B9Es4wr8r6-yPft-186RIlRRHRoC7TsQAvD_BwE
When I installed mine it too less than 30 seconds and most of that was finding the edge of the tape.
You colud also just epoxy repair it and then use a small piece of black PPF to make the finish nice.
I believe Pete from Abstract ocean also makes that piece custom cut of Xpel armor.

whole new $730 replacement mirror unit

Damn! Bought one for my truck last year; It was ‘only’ ~$300.

I did think about that but not a big fan of the carbon fiber look. Didn’t consider wrapping it. I ended up just gluing everything back together with loctite plastic bonder. Looks like crap right now but I’m hoping I can do some sanding and have it be presentable. Just waiting till tomorrow for the bonder to properly adhere. Also reached out to service center in the off chance they can get me the part.

I don’t think I have seen a bottom cover, just the top. You are saying this has both? I need a bottom section after a slight issue with fsd backing out and hitting a drive thru board.

There is both a bottom and a top CF fiber aftermarket stick-on part out there. Mine has ppf blue wrap on the top stock piece that people sometimes refer to as a “skullcap” and the real CF aftermarket piece adhered to the bottom stock piece as pictured.
Most others I’ve seen don’t use the bottom cover but get one for the top part that is blue on mine.
The bottom CF piece is a little more unusual I think. Not sure I’ve ever seen it on another truck in fact.

For anyone watching the thread. Did some light sanding and got the part as good looking as I could. Barely visible when you’re not looking close at it. Anyone got recommendations for something that can refinish/get the white dried glue lines darkened up? Still hopeful the sc can just get a replacement but this is good enough for me.
