Hi there,
Another new person here, I bought a 2002 VW Bora 4 Motion Sport in September 2006, and it's been fantastic, soo much fun driving this car, and its RED :D .
Anyhow there has been a cpl of issues, all minor and fixed, except this fandangled rear vision mirror. Its got this Anti-Dazzle rear view mirror, and it did have a small blotch of blurry section in it, which got alot bigger and used to move around the mirror to different sides. It expanded to about 80% of the mirror when I left the car in the sun. Its pretty damn hard to see anything with the blurry section and it actually makes headlights worse at night.
Called the dealer they said replace it (they recon that its has something to do with the photoelectrics not working), and wanted $550 for a new one. To me it looks like it needs like some sort of liquid top up under the surface. Has anyone else come across this issue?
While the anti-dazzle feature is pretty cool, im considering just replacing the mirror with one from a Golf, I checked out one in the carpark, it looks like it would click in pretty damn easy, plus probably be a hell of alot cheaper then some fancy photoelectric thing, I mean all I want to do is see who is behind me.
Cheers,
Andrew
