Is it a black goo substance leaking from the mirror? I read a post a while back and (I think it was Chibi) was having the same problem. IIRC it had to do with the auto-dim liquid and the only cure was to replace the mirror.

yes it is a black gunk. the face of the mirror looks all weird and the little green light is off. what the hell causes that? never heard that before,on any car.is this a dealer item or a local boneyard fix?

It's the electrochromic fluid that auto-dims the mirror.

Hot days, with the windows closed, sitting in the sun will usually do that.

I'm on my 3rd mirror because of this junk.

I hope it didn't ruin what it got on, because that stuff is baddddd
