I bought a used homelink mirror

i just bought this used homelink mirror, seller failed to tell me that this mirror glass had yellow/bronze tint.

as ya'll know yellow/bronzie glass tint is not natural color tone for a mirror.
would you say the glass has color tone defects or did some markets around the world get RWM's with yellow/bronzie color tone?

also the spring pin broke of the spring roof fastener, this can't be normal?

I contacted seller, I have to wait for what they have to say about this?

finding a black color housing RWM's homelink with euro MHz frequenze is very difficult

do you have any experiance with yellow tint glass?
what could it be the problem?

that doesn't sound any good!?

did the oil leak out on your front door?
is it corrosive to fukk up the paint?

wonder what might happen if i install this interior RVM and the oil inside RVM housing leaks out on my centre console?
