Default Auto dimming mirror repair

The self-dimming inside rear view mirror in my 2012 has glass that appears cloudy and distorted and I'd like to get it repaired. I found a vendor called Radar Mirror that does repairs on these and I was wondering if anyone has experience using them to fix their mirror. Thanks for your input.

See post #8. The forum member had his redone with success using the company that you mention. Further down, another member didn't have as good a result.

I used this guy (Scott) for a Lexus mirror. Good workmanship. Super nice guy, but it took a month to get it done and I had to call him several times. He does this as a second job and was busy at the time I needed mine repaired. I felt that his turnaround time as stated on the website was misleading, but I would probably use him again as there were not many other alternatives around that I could find.

I used him on mine. He did a fabulous job. Actually the quality of the mirror he used is much superior to the one car had as new. No complaints, money well spent.

Thanks for the input everybody. I ended up buying a complete replacement mirror in perfect condition from ebay. Price was actually less than having mine repaired.
