Rearview mirror cracked?
 
I got in my car today and noticed little cracks that look like splashes of water. Almost like rain drizzle drops, but they feel like they won't go away.

How could this happen without it getting hit?

Anyone see this or know how to fix it? Do I have to replace the mirror?

Yes, replace the mirror. The reflective coating/paint applied to the backside is defective. Possibly that particular unit was contaminated before application.

Try ceramic hob cleaner, its great on glass.

Who knows. It's a strange and complex universe.

Maybe live with it if it still allows you to use it for its intended purpose.

Maybe think about replacing it if it doesn't?

It's an electric cooker

Ceramic hobs work thanks to heating elements underneath the glass surface which warm up and transfer heat to the selected cooking zone/hob ring Induction hobs, on the other hand, use circular coils which generate a magnetic field that induces heat onto a pan made from ferrous material only when it is physically placed ...

The nobs are in 3 places, on the model shown they are bottom R.H.S (touch sensitive knobs), the other nobs come and go (the users /cooks) and finally half started pack of nobs next to hob...

How much would it run me to replace the mirror? Where should I buy one?

Stop. *taps out*

If this isn't a troll thread, then I would feel bad if you bought a new mirror. Are you seriously not able to clean off that shit, or are you just fucking with us?
