You'll have to replace it

I've never heard of an A6 mirror leaking. It was a more common issue on X300 chassis Jaguars; I'm sure it's just a supplier issue. Either way, it's a good opportunity to update to a compass mirror (see the tech section).

Auto dimming

The auto dimming mirror uses a liquid to "dim". In some cases, the mirror housing develops a leak and the mirror can no longer dim in an evenly manner.
