X164 2008 GL550 Floppy Rear View Mirror During 75 Degree+ Weather

Bought mine used out of SoCal. Apparently, the heat damages the internals to the mirror bushing resulting in my search for some form of "Viagra". The dealer will only sell a complete mirror for something like $1700. One of the techs suggested he had seen a rebuild kit online that isn't to hard of a DIY. Anyone ever resolved this issue, heard of this kit or know where to find it, can point me towards a helpful thread, ever rebuilt thir mirror? I searched but couldn't come up with my specific issue.

Thanks!
