Leaking Auto Dim Rear View Mirror

[Reddy]

Gents,
Anyone experienced a leaking auto dim rear view mirror?
The fluid in the mirror is very corrosive and if it leaks out of the mirror onto the dash or other trim parts it causes serious damage. I have since removed the mirror to be safe.
Replacement mirror is R7k.
Anyone knows who can repair it?
Tried looking for a used spare and I have failed. Any contacts for 2006 z4 spares?
The mirror also houses the sensor for the key remote functions. So with out the mirror I cannot use the remote to open the doors. Have to insert the key manually to unlock the doors.

I don't know of anyone locally that does the repair... I've heard of a company in the states that does it, would require you to send your mirror to them though...

Cant think who they are now :sorry:

I am sending my M5 mirror as soon as I get a temp mirror to use.

Calypso on the forum has used them before.

If you don't care to loose the dim function of the mirror it's quite a easy repair.

You open the mirror casing, separate the glass from the mirror, clean both very well and put it back together. I did it to my mirror as it was leaking.
