Rear-View Mirror Defect
Well, it looks like my 2001 has finally developed that auto-dim defect that others have mentioned.
The inside mirror has now developed a bubble in the active fluid inside the front glass, which some have described as the "lava lamp" look.
I will have to visit the dealer and see if the Starmark extended warranty covers it.

I was told my Mercedes extended warranty does not cover the dimming mirrors. Mine was the outside one and I got a piece of regular mirror cut to replace it. Works great! And only $15 instead of the $400 or so they wanted for the dimming kind.
