I guess the chemical for the autodimming feature has leaked between the glass giving it a blurred look. Have any of you guys ran into this problem and know where to get the replacement other than GM. They quoted $420 just for the glass. Also how do i get the old glass out without breaking the whole assembly. Any help would be appreciated.

 

sorry just looked below and seen a thread just like mine. If an admin reads this please close this this thread

 

Everything in my mirrors are always blurred too! Imagine that.

 

Here's the procedure

Try GMpartshouse.com for a better price if you want new. At that price, I'd be tempted to look for a used mirror from one of the breakers. There are some vendors on the Forum who sell used parts. The links are in the icons on the left.
