Default Anyone's rearview mirrors (exterior) slowly kinda "fade" or die..
mine have slowly gotten blurry and it looks as if there is moisture behind the first layer...almost like the glass is delaminating from the reflective part of the mirror..

anyone had that happen? what are my options for replacement? Anyone sell just the mirror (not the entire housing)?

or is there some "ghetto" way of cutting a mirror to fit in that housing and just pretty much stick it on top of the old one?

at first it was only effecting a little part of the mirror, now it has spread to more ot it...it annoys me!

I replaced just the glass on my driver side and IIRC it was about $125 for new glass (auto dimming)

Default samething happened to me...looks like you gotta order something like this...
"Passenger's side, heated, With anti-dazzle feature, glass portion only " - $199.95...I wish my drivers side went not the passenger :@ woulda saved $100
