VBdenny Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Is it the mirror part (actual glass) or the casing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusing Posted July 31, 2003 Author Share Posted July 31, 2003 It's behind the mirror...I think. I believe it has something to do with the Auto-dimming inside of the mirror.....It look like when you push down on an LCD screen, the chemical inside of the LCD get all over under the glass....

VMF Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 IF NECESSARY, DISCONNECT MIRROR (a) Insert the shop rag between the mirror and the mirror body to wrap up the mirror in the shop rag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
