Just picked up my car from the mechanic. Stopped to get it washed, brought it home and noticed this strange mark inside the mirror. I don’t believe its moisture…………. It wasn't there when I picked up the car. Once again, any input is greatly appreciated.

 

I really can t see much in this pic.... did u try a cleaner on the glass to see if it cleans off?

 

my wife won't iron my shirts, either

 

Actually does look a bit like moisture seeped b/w and is on the back of the laminate/between the surfaces. Try stuffing a paper towel up under the leading edge around mirror to wick the moisture/cleaner back out. Might also mark the outer edge of marked area on mirror surface using a crayon or dry erase marker to see if it spreads/reduces.

LOL - not helpful to OP but funny none the less!

 

Ok, now see what you are talking about. does look like condensation as stated above. Should go away on a hot day if that s it.

 

i think your mirror might be done for, it's self dimming, this happened to me on a suburban rear view, can't be fixed, only replaced, the liquid used to dim the mirror has leaked, sorry.

 

any warrenty on the car?
Do you think the dealer did a mirror swap while your car was there.?

 

Well... I guess that's two things on the list, a new dry cleaner/laundry and a new mirror!

 

No, it's classic...recently came off the CPO and little things are breaking on it.

 

maybe use a hair dryer on low heat

 

I think I see Jesus.

 

jesus?? He will be on the expensive replacement bill

 

I agree. I think the technology is similar to the "Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs)" and once that stuff leaks out, the unit is damaged.

 

That's exactly what it is. I did some research and it seems to be prevalent in BMW's. The liquid is supposedly highly caustic and can drip out and really cause havoc. Just a real idiotic pain in the A#s. I mean before you could be in a 993, and not worry about some goop dripping on your kneecaps, or worse yet the dashboard. (Also, the only apparition in the mirror is me in a wrinkled Ralph Lauren shirt..... sorry to disappoint).

 

Lololololol
