Auto-dimming mirrow failing - is there any fix? V70-XC70 2001

posted by  someone claiming to be Yuri on  Sun Feb 17 12:01 CST 2008 [RELATED]

The auto-dimming rearview mirror in my 2001 V70 worked well until recently, when I noticed that only a part of it is dimming, oval in shape.

This is quote annoying, I can see a car behind me with one bright yellow light and one bluish dimmed light. i sometimes have to move my head to get both headlights into that dimmed oval.

two questions:

1. can this be fixed? no warranty on the car, and I do not want to pay hundreds of $$ for it

2. can I replace it with a good old mirror with a flip lever? I know this self-dimming one was an options, so perhaps there is a drop-in replacement for it?

Thank you,
Yuri
