Rubber Mirror Surround?
On the standard flag style mirrors as found on the early '80's 911's, there's that black rubber-like surround. Is that available as a separate item?

If it's just faded and not necessarily damaged, Mother's Back to Black does a nice job of bringing out shine and color to the finish of the surround.
Just thought that might help. ------------------ Kevin 87 Carrera coupe |

So in order to replace the rubber piece, the whole mirror motor must be replaced.......
I'm afraid to ask how much that might be.  ------------------ Michael '78 911SC Euro |

Buy a used one, plenty of people have fitted the later type mirrors. Try Porsche Pano or similar.
