<center><img src="http://www.transit7.com/images/us/audi/new_lights_new_grill8.jpg"></center><p>Has this ever happened to anyone?
I can't even use it now, the whole mirror has developed some sort of rust behind the glass and its all brown.
Whats the best thing to do?

Default The only thing to do is replace the mirror glass. For the regular non self dimming ones,

they are not terribly expensive, and are easy to change.

Where can I get the mirror at, for a good price of course?
I have a 97 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro
