Anyone replace their visors?

The metal clip inside the housing broke but apparently BMW can only replace the whole visor...this is the same story if something else breaks, can't just replace the specific broken part but have to do the WHOLE thing, which is quite wasteful/annoying.

Anyway, wondering if anyone has a quick fix for this or should I just find someone w can 3D print that broken metal clip?

I bought EU visors sans stickers from a breaker in Lithuania. They couldn’t post to America, so they posted to a relative in the old country who posted to me. It was an easy transaction.
