I didn't ever notice this on my previous z06, nor this one till today. My driver side - side mirror is tinted and my passenger side mirror is not. Is that how they all are?!

I took my then new '02 to the selling dealer with this complaint with out knowing only the left outside and inside mirror were chromatic. Well the Dealer didn't know either as they replaced the passenger's side mirror to fix the problem. I later, after reading the owner's manual saw to my surprise that the passenger mirror isn't supposed to dim. I wonder if the Dealer got paid for that operation?

You may have water between the film that covers the mirror like I do on the drivers side. I need a new mirror.
