Just bought a RR 4.6. When I look in the rearview mirror I see double (it's not me or my glasses). Any idea what causes this? There are a couple of threads on the disco board that talk about mirrors going bad, but they have some sort of fluid coming out of them. Are the RR rearview mirrors made by the same company as discos', Magna Donnelly?

Thanks

Your mirror is bad, e-mail or call Magnadon. There is a thread in the Disco section on what to do. I am still waiting for my replacement. Make sure you tell them it is for an RR 4.6.

Thanks Alan, I appreciate your help. I suspected this would be the case.

FYI, Jean Glover is the new person to contact about the replacement mirrors:

I got an email from Rhonda Leep tuesday saying that they are awaiting a shipment of mirrors from the UK and that they will contact me when they have arrived to ship one out.

I received a free replacement after contacting them and providing them with pictures of the 'offending' rear view mirror.

Martin, I'm still working with them. After sending them pics of my mirror twice, they (MagnaDonally) sent me the mirror for the RR Classic (I think that's what model it goes on). I don't think it was Jean's fault, and she tells me another is coming. We'll see.

The model I had in my car was no longer available so they send me a 'replacement' one. I had to redo one wire for the maplights, but I was willing to do that after talking on the phone with their Q&A manager.
