I have a 98 E320 wagon where the LH outside mirror has lost the reflectivity from the bottom half and appears to be leaking some brown substance.
I suspect this is some of the material they use to auto dim the mirror
I couldn't see any reference to this problem and where the car has 107K miles I'll probably need fix it myself.
I fell over when I saw the price of new mirrors and was hoping someone could advise on what this leaking is and whether its terminal ( which I assume it is)
and where I might locate a used mirror at a resonable price ( the housing is fine
I can post a picture if anyone request one
Thanks in advance
Bob
