You see the stuff at the bottom of the mirror? This is not on the outside of the mirror. Just wondering if anyone has had this happen before and if there is a fix for it beyond just replacing the glass portion of the mirror.

Common issue! Replace glass piece if it gets to bad
Never use heated mirrors in San Diego and mine have done this. Typically its moisture between the mirror silver and glass

Get new mirrors and use the heated function only when needed

mine was worst. after driving around years like that I finally replaced both side last month. Becareful removing the mirror, I accidently broke one of the mirror actuator during the mirror removal process ( lucky parts were not expensive) lol
Unfortunately, leaving the heated mirrors on for an extended amount of time will cause that.

Changed my diver side a few weeks ago, its faily easy to fix.
Part was 38$ at Acura, and they should have in stock as its a common problem. I had the same problem on my BMW, i think it has something to dowith the heated mirrors and the blue tint. Other cars iv owned that had heated mirrors without blue tinted never had this problem.
