It seems that I recently noticed that my driver side mirror (c320) seems to be a little blurry with lights etc (cleaned it very well, still the same), however it seems there's also a broze-ish 'tint' to the mirror that isn't present on the passenger side one. Is this normal for both, or am I in need of a replacement?

I will try and get pictures of it today (hopefully)

Similar to this, I think (ghosting?)

Uh.. Did you read the owner's manual. I think you have the auto dim package. It should affect the center rear mirror and the driver's side. Is this occuring durning at night? If it is, then this is not an issue but the the money you put into this car that is doing it's job.

Either that, or you have a failed driver's mirror. Perhaps the mode in dimming and normal is stuck in between in which is giving you the double image since both are reflecting the image to you. Just a wide guess. Here's one thing you can check. Check to see if this mirror is plugged in. Sometimes it might have got loose or there is dust in it causing it to have a bad connection.

As if it is occuring day time, then that's a possible issue.

I think it's broken. It remains blurry night and day, no matter what. I looked for a replacement, however I see it for $400 USD.. that's insane just for a mirror.

Check out the junk yards or ebay. I don't think you need a spanking new mirror? Also, I think you need to paint it or perhaps you are going to replace the mechanism?
