Anybody have problems with the new rear view mirrors?
Years ago I replaced the mirror with a new upgraded mirror when Magna Donnelly was offering a an exchange at no charge. Now the mirror only dims on the right half. It fades from one side to the other, not a visible line like the old mirrors.

It's a known problem with the auto dimming mirrors, they go bad after time, just be glad the fluid hasn't leaked out and melted your dash

The fluid filled mirror went bad years ago, lucky for me it didn't leak. It's the replacement mirror without the fluid that's going bad.

It's known problem on Donnelly. I replaced mine twice when i had CL. So i just replaced Gentex autodim mirror when it went bad second time. I even transfered mirror to my TL. It's been working good so far.
