During the winter I posted my experience with the auto-dimming mirror suddenly "fading" slowly until just a small circle of auto-dim crystal stuff was left and finally even that was gone. I accepted this and have been driving around with what now amounts to a regular mirror for at least 6 months, squinting at bright lights from behind me.
Well, 3 weeks ago, I got in the car to discover that a whole bunch of auto dimming liquid (looks like golden colored oil trapped between two tight panes of glass) had now reappeared in the mirror, seemingly from nowhere. It actually fills about 2/3 of the mirror and works great, even though it's there in the daytime, tinting everything I look at a slight golden color. The top 1/3 of the mirror has some sort of condensation in it, sort of like the top of a wine glass where the fumes collect and then drip back down, and it's clear colored like a regular mirror.
The on/off switch for the dimming portion of the mirror no longer does anything.
Anyone else have this experience? It's a 2002 LLBean edition. And what will happen next?
