This mirror is not auto-dim(since it Had a dim tab on the bottom),
But it is Toast!
The bottom interface at the Mirror surface does have the Brown "ooze".
My original concern was the clear "Goo" was some kind of "Plastico Eating"
chemical ,which when not contained by the mirror casing would have leaked
out and eaten the mirror backing(AND then dripped down onto the Zebrano
wood console and had it's way with it!).That's why I was SO Happy to have
discovered this situation when the wood was not in residence!
