So I got into my car this morning and noticed this black, oily dripage on my shifter cover and was like, "hmm where'd that come from?" Anyways I wiped it away and found that it corroded or melted, whatever you want to call it, my plastic little shifter cover. So now I am really confused. Mind boggled, I drive off seconds later to see that my rear-view mirror is fogged up so I try to wipe it down a little but nothing doing. And then I see a little black ball of fluid about to drip from the bottom and it is the same shit that corroded my shifter plate. Anyways my mirror is not clearing up so I assume it is the night/day shit inside that dims headlights or whatever. Anyone think this is going to get worse and most likely completely fog over? Is it covered by warranty? (hopefully, because I gots' no job or money)

Remove the mirror ASAP and then search for that thread^.

I tried to get mine replaced my Magna Donelly for free, but they gave me the run around, I ended up buying a new mirror from the dealership for $67. Maybe you will have better luck!

 

The liquid in my mirror started to bubble but thankfully never leaked. I contacted my buddy at a local Acura dealership and $60 later I had it installed that day.

 

why is there liquid in our rearview mirrors?

 

Electrochromatic or something like that. When your mirror senses the light change when its dark outside and headlights are behind you, the mirror sends a electrical current to charge the liquid. The liquid turns black and tints your rearview mirror. How did you think your auto tinting rearview mirror worked?
The new versions have a solid core instead of liquid so the replacement should have no more problems.

 

what dealership was that if u dont mind me asking, mine fell off again and has a big bubble

 

shit dude i had no idea what auto dimming was at all

 

Its awesome aint it?
