Rear View Mirror Day/Night Problem
I saw where someone posted this before. But I was wondering if anyone else noticed this and I also have a theory about why this happens.
My Rear View mirror now only show's half of the Mirror with what looks like a liquid that dims the mirror. So the top half of the mirror is not working to dim, but the bottom half is. Its makes no diffrence if I cut the switch on or not. It's like laying only a tint across the bottom half of the mirror. I have a 01 CLS and have a RF Power Series 851 amp. It runs about 800-900 watts depending on the Battrey Voltage and I am playing 3 MTX 12's in an enclosed box, crossed over with a Audio Controls XS6 Crossover.
My subs will Rattle the spoiler, make my Radar detector jump up and down, and Vibrate the rear View mirror and I think thats what ruined it. Anyone else have this problem that the mirror went bad, either with subs or without ?

If your speaker is causing that much vibration to parts of your car, you should have your hearing checked also, and I am not being funny
Hearing loss is gradual and irrepairable!!!

Hey I'm trying to ask about a problem of vibration damaging the Mirror. Your comments are fucking smartass and unwelcome. If you don't have a system or the mirror, why fucking disrespect. If you are Man and have anything else to say then PM me MF' er. If you are a little 19 year old punk and you want to get punked then keep posting. It's called thread Jacking.

The edges on mine went bad and left only a small section in the center clear. I have a stock stereo, so it couldn't have been the music! Luckily, mine was still under warranty, so the dealer replaced it. This happened at about 40,000 miles.

"Stop taken it so far down your throat and your ears won't get damaged."

Do any of you read your responses before you click "Submit"??? Half of the things you say make absolutely no sense. Are my ears in the bottom of my throat?![Scratch](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/scratch.gif)
...and BTW, my mirror has this hazy oval area in the center that works fine but the edges are going. The bump in my trunk is only a 10" Basslink so I don't think the vibrations are the cause of my problems. I never turn the thing up b/c I, too, don't want to lose my hearing.
