Not encouraging for us W123 owners hoping for better stock from a later model. I can't blame M-B for a 1984 mirror in sunny CA failing, but 1994 in SC is more troubling. But my 1984 apparently spent a lot of time under a pine tree since the trunk gutters were clogged and the trunk filled w/ water, causing black mildew and smell in the whole interior (cleaned up fine w/ soap & water). Of course, worse case would be to just pop the mirror & post off and use a "glue to windshield" mirror like most later cars use.
