Condensation in side mirror turn signal housing

There is a considerable amount of condensation building up in my driver's side mirror turn signal housing.

If anyone can tell me how to take the thing apart so I can dry it off and see where the seal is broken...

Pics will come later, but it is as the title says -- condensation build up in side mirror turn signal housing

Need to get this done ASAP to prevent yellowing...

Are you out of warranty? If not, take it to the dealer. I had the exact same problem on my C63 and the dealer replaced the clear indicator housing on my mirror. All they will confirm is it's not cracked from a rock strike.

Worst case scenario the dealer replaced mine (due to rock chips causing condensation) for about $100.

My first side blinker cracked when the car was a couple of moths, i thought it must have taken some kind of hit. But now the other is completely cracked alwell. None of the mirrors have a scratch or any kind of mark after a hit and it feels impossible thast both would be hut by such a precise hit that nothing but the glass is broken.

It looks to my that they have cracked just like that, probably due to low temperatur in winter or sunlight. It is obviously that no car, korean or russian can have worse quality blinker glasses.

This car keeps suprising me in a negative way!
