Hi, I have several pairs of wh-1000xm3 which all need the same part. I need to replace the outer portion on the slider. I must say its an awful design by sony, because of how thin and how easy they break. I can't seem to find anywhere where they have the part in stock. So I have 2 questions. Where can I buy a replacement slider. Secondly, is the wh1000xm3 slider design same as the wh1000xm2, can the sliders interchanged on the two pairs? The picture on the right is the unbroken one. That's the piece I need.

2 places to look.

As far as I can tell WH-1000XM1 and WH-1000XM2 are exactly the same but WH-1000XM3 has a different part number which usually reflects a design change.

This guy 3d prints them but I can't guarantee how long they last but for the price well it could be worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestions, however I wasn't able to find any 1000xm3 upper sliders at either of those sites. I also want to get OEM parts because I plan to resell the headphones. Any other place that has them? I really need the parts.
