Broken side view mirror help please

Hello kind friends! Thanks again for all the assistance is advance!

I have a 2008 Majestic. That's a former Cruise America built on a Ford E 350. Four Winds makes them for CA.

Arrived at the camp ground the other day and noticed that my driver side arm on the side view mirror seems to have randomly come apart from the mounting on the door. I had to duct tape it to get home. I didn't hit anything and it has always worked perfectly until recently. It seems to have come apart in a very strange place. Pics below asap. Any advice is helpful.

Other than the fact that it is now hanging by the wires unless I work it into a specific position, everything works. Blinker and button to electronically adjust mirrors are all good and still attached.

I have looked online and couldn't find this same type of side view arm assembly. I assume I will likely have to replace the whole thing? The mirror part is in great shape. It just broke where it attaches to the door and spins to move the mirror in when parked.

I guess I would check with Ford to see if they had a replacement.

It has happened to me. Like This?

It is a design flaw that lets water into the arm,it corrodes the arm end and with all the pressure from that spring it pops off the keeper breaking the pin end.
