I noticed a big bubble in my review mirror while driving home from work yesterday. It wasn't there when I left the work parking lot, because I back out of my parking spot when I leave, and didn't notice it then.

Seems like the bubble moves around, because now it's in a different shape then it was yesterday.
It's really annoying because I frequently use my review mirror, and now it makes weird shapes.

I searched for other posts on this topic, but didn't find anything useful.
Any suggestions? Prices on new/used? What makes them go "bad"?

<b>Thanks in advance!</b>

a compass mirror to replace with.

that fluid is part of the auto-dimming mechanism. i think some folks have drained it out and just used the mirror.

mine did that too. i think it is because of the auto dimming. u get used to it.

Mine just started doing the same thing. How do you drain it ?

S4SideWaysPt2

my side mirror did that

My RVmirror does the same...I just live with it. Cheap entertainment on hot days.

Just make sure the ooze doesn't get on anything. It ate my shifter surround

I'm surprised this is a fairly common problem.
Does anyone know the process of draining out the liquid?
