You'd need to buy the whole mirror to get the casing anyway

Turn the mirror glass so it faces the car, unclip the two metal things that hold the glass on. Then the internals are all T15 screws I think, be very careful as the plastic is brittle and it snaps easy. On the underside of the mirror casing, there is also a couple of screws.
