⚠️ Symptoms of a Faulty or Failing Rear Mirror:
- Glass Discoloration / "Gold Ringing": Electrochromatic fluid breakdown creates a permanent brown tint or visible internal liquid line.
- Auto-Dimming Failure: The mirror fails to darken when glare hits night sensors, leading to harsh driver dazzle.
- Fluid Leakage: Internal liquid crystal fluid leaks out, which can permanently stain or melt center console trim plastics.
- Loose Mount / Socket: Ball swivel joint fails, causing the mirror to drop or vibrate continuously while driving.
