Title: Auto dimming mirror failed
Post by Pegasus on Aug 7^th, 2022, 8:42pm

My mirror has finally failed - looks like the fluid is sitting in bottom half.

Anyone else replaced theirs with another auto dimmer or just a manual flip mirror - and where did you source it?

I've read Snoopy's repair (https://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/pcmirror.htm) and I aim to replace mine. In meantime have put a cloth over centre console-just in case.

Cheers

Paul

Was in local Ford garage (& where I bought car) picking up some mudflap clips (also becoming rare). Asked about a replacement mirror and manager checked - £430 :o

No chance of buying 1 though - none available! He also confirmed they were also Scorpio specific so probably no chance of using 1 from another model.
