Rear View Mirror Options

[Newjack]

So after getting my tints on the car, I start driving down the road only to notice that my rear view mirror has a massive air bubble in it. I can't imagine that the tint shop had anything to do with it, more or less just bad luck and horrible timing.

Right now it looks like this.



It's a little hard to see but the air bubble is almost covering the top portion of the mirror.

So now what should I do? Do I just get another mirror? Can I fix the one I have now?

Also, I'm not to sure the autodimming feature was working properly before, because I never noticed the mirror dim at all. I'm sure if it was working properly I would have noticed it dimming, but to me it always seemed the same.

If that's an auto-dimming mirror...that's not a bubble. That's the auto-dim fluid leaking out....and if it gets on your interior, it's ruined (stuff is caustic). Put a bag around it asap.

Why did you tint your mirror? They should dim at night not sure i never see it dimmed in daylight.

[danewilson77]

They didn't tint his mirror Meric.

Ugh, that sucks. I always keep an eye on mine for this. I'd take it out tho so it won't leak. It's easy to remove.

I've checked the interior for leaks and felt around the mirror itself. I can't find any fluid leaking out and I don't see anything stained (thank God). Were some of the mirror not autodimming ones?

[danewilson77]

Yes. My does not auto-dim. I have to turn the clown nose for night driving.

[Newjack]

Oh ok. Let me go twist my clown nose and see what happens. Never done it before.

That may not be the tell though. I think even the auto dim mirrors, ccan be manually dimmed. I think you have the auto dim mirror.

Do all ZHPs come with auto-dim mirrors standard?
