You might see if Stoddard will sell you just the plastic retainer.

Hey Tim, I had the same issue with the mirror on my A coupe. I could not find the correct replacement plastic. I used the plastic stem material in fender piping found on some antique cars. The piece I used is about 1/8" dia. I pushed mirror back into the shell and inserted white plastic stem between mirror glass and lip of the metal shell, then super glued the end together. The stem is wedge between lip and mirror glass. Looks ok to me and it saves the mirror for use. I realize my description is hard to follow, so I will try to send a picture.

Good luck,
Bruce
