I heard once that Leica Service could replace the glass in the  
13351,13352 filters.  You might want to check whether that still is  
the case.  If you can get it apart, you might even find that you can  
take the glass out of another common size filter and put it in the  
swing out frame.  It wouldn't surprise me if the glass is the same  
diameter that's used in a 43 or 46mm filter.
