Rear View Mirror

My '01 has the Auto Dark feature on the rear view mirror. It doesn't seem to work anymore. Anyone else have this problem? Can it be fixed, or does it need replaced?

First, I didn't find any threads answering my questions.
Second, I've been on this forum a while, so I don't think that is a question that needs to be asked.

I never found any other threads through the search feature on this site, but a Google search brought me back to several threads.
My best option is to buy a new one on ebay.

Who? Explain please.
BTW, are there any available with compass headings? Is there anyway to cross reference a Honda part number? (I don't live close to an Acura dealer if I can't get on on ebay)

Hey nbennettksu, you're not really 9 years old are you?
Speaking of Charlotte,
I'll be there on April 13th for about two weeks. I'll be training to fly the Airbus 320. I'm coming off the Boeing 767. I fly for US Airways.

Smile

the spot in the mirror is there because the hot weather over the years leaked out a little bit of the anti-glare gel in the mirror. It's so hot in TX that I only have a tiny spot of antiglare left, and when that's gone, it'll be just like a normal mirror.
