LH outside mirror "stuck" in dim mode

Just the other day I realized that my drivers side outside rear view mirror is dimmed all the time. I'm assuming the problem is with the glass itself but not sure. The inside mirror dims and brightens just fine. Any advice?

Yeah, it's probably the LCD fluid has leaked. You'll have to replace the glass.

Thanks--I can see the LCD liquid is sort of discolored at the bottom so that's probably it. I wasn't aware the glass could be replaced by itself.

Next: search You Tube for videos showing how to replace the mirror glass.
