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.

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? |

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?
