I have a 96 disco and a few days ago, my rearview mirror leaked (whatseems like the auto tint liquid) a brown to black liquid.
will I have to replace my mirror?
Has anyone had this before?
Thanks ,

happens quite often. beware of the goo. it is pretty nasty stuff and can make a mess of anything it gets on.
either you have to replace the thing or get go out and spend $20 on a manual mirror. will most likely have to replace the button on the windshield.
donnelly makes the mirror and they sell for about $225 if i am remembering correctly.
mine leaked about 1 1/2 years ago and i have yet to replace it. |

Beware, though--rumors have it that the goo can eat through your dash. It ate through a plastic lunch bag and stained my rear carpet when I was carrying it around. |

Mine did the same thing about 2 months ago. Haven't gotten around to it yet. Does anyone know to get it off? I could not see any obvious means of removing it. I heard that the same style mirror is used in late model GM cars, check the junk yards.

yep. caddys and other GM cars use the same mirror. they may use a different mounting button though. best way i have heard at getting the metal buttons off is with a hairdryer. |
