To justify this price, the service rep told me that they cannot order only the adapter, they have to order the mirror AND the adapter together. I found this weird because on the order form there where clearly two parts: the mirror ($155) and the mount (25$).
What's more, they could only order the old adapter mount part (H501SSA040) instead of the new one (H501SSA041).

I'd stay away from that dealership.
I can only speak for dealers operating under SOA (I think Canadian dealers might be, but not sure), but if you install the part yourself, the part is covered under warranty, the labor is not. I can see some argument that your installation may have been faulty, but this is a known parts issue so it should be covered.
There is absolutely no reason to replace the mirror. In some cases you may have to replace the entire adapter kit, but most failures only require replacement of the tab.
