Other than buying a reproduction from the usual suspects ($50-55 Bucks!) go to
your home center. The 12" x 12" square glass mirror wall tiles are the thinnest
I could find. Only a 64th to 32nd of an inch thicker than the original. Have
the glass cutter grind the edge of the new piece round, it helps making the
u-shaped trim fit again.
