Default Rear view mirror stained/discolored... Any ideas?

So today I got in my car and about 1/3 of the rear view mirror is a different color than the rest. A large spot/stain in the center. Has anyone seen this before?

Default auto dim is failing...

it is the liquid that makes the autodim work, and there is an internal leak in the mirror. Only solution is to replace, not cheap.

Are you talking about the inside rearview or one of the sideview mirrors???

How much would the mirror with compass cost? Would the warranty pay for it?

AoA: "Oh, that's clearly wear and tear, sir, sorry." &lt;/sarcasm&gt;
