Hi,
I removed the driver's side wing mirror (non-electric) from my partner's NA on Saturday in order to tighten the bolt that holds the mirror in a desired spot.
I removed and then cleaned the glue from the channel of the black mirror surround and put it in "a safe place"...now after many searching episodes have come to the conclusion that it has left the building.
I am after a replacement for this mirror surround...it is the black plastic ribbon-like piece that looks a bit like a shoe lace that holds the mirror into its housing. The original one is the same shape as the mirror.
I have searched 'pinchweld', 'u-channel'. Just can't come up with the correct terminology to do a successful search.
If this material is not available as an aftermarket part, I will no doubt need to find a whole replacement mirror.
Does anyone have a lead on where I can obtain this trim?

Hi Stan,
Did you find out if you have a driver's side or a passenger's side mirror?
Cheers,
Paolo

Call off the cavalry!
The missing mirror trim miraculously appeared this morning....have NO idea where it has been. It was humping the pedal of the kitchen recycling bin and I was just about to put my foot on it to lift the lid!
Treating this one as pure unobtainium and handling it with utmost care.
Thanks for your offer of help, Stan. I appreciate it.
Now off for a drive to see if the newly-tightened mirror pod remains in its set position...then the mirror and trim will be siliconed back into place.
End of drama...

Blame the missus (actually DON'T blame the missus).
Failing that, blame the dog/cat/budgerigar.
