Broken Mirror Door on Visor

Hello all. I have tried to do a search but did not come up with anything.

The doors on both or my sun visor vanity mirrors are broken. I looked on a MB parts website breakdown and they show the mirror housing seperate from the visor. However, when I went to MB to order the housing, they stated that the whole visor had to be ordered............ The housing, is something like this-->(231-810-02-79-8Q97) and is only about $25, but the whole visor is over $200. Have any of you ordered just the housing and gotten it in vs the whole visor? Beige interior and the last nine of SL vin are DF017071.

Thanks for any help,
Dale

Looks like they are available separately.

Yes it does look that way, but when I call to order the housing I am told that they are not available separate from the visor... has anyone bought these housings separately from the visor?

That may be true with your dealer but when I click on one of the links that I sent you it lets me take the order all the way to entering credit card info so it must be available.
Just order it over the web!!
