Default Rear view dimmable mirror

Hi all my rear view mirror looks like there’s a green air bubble forming in the glass , I’ve looked around and everyone says it’s in repairable and needs replacing , I’ve looked on eBay and none available or they want £90 , any ideas where I can pick one up cheaper ?
Its for my Audi A6 2.8 SE C5 1997 saloon

I replaced mine with a manual dimming mirror from a A4 which used the same ball mount. I don't line the auto dimming mirrors - at night they always seem to be in dark mode. Then of course there is the reliability.

Hi, I think you'd be lucky to get a complete replacement cheaper. The mirror glass alone is around £90 new and is a DIY job to replace, if you have a soldering iron. They are right that you cannot repair the glass one the liquid crystals have leaked.
