Black stuff on rear view mirror
 

Do any of you have some black stuff appearing on the bottom of your rear view mirror? I don't know what it is, but it seems to be getting worse. I wanted to clean it of but when I try there doesn't seem to be anything on there. I think it may be the "sticky" stuff on the back side that is beginning to be "unsticky". hehe.

Any suggetions would be appreciated...

(btw, you guys think I am anal about my car and all it's little quirks?)

its the reflective backing on the glass falling off. my 79 is "fringed" like that. nothing you can really do short of buy a new one.

ditto

that is the stuff that makes the mirror a mirror. over time
it flakes off..old mirrors in houses look the same..
get a new mirror,or junkyard it.

Too bad they dont offer mirror backing as a car body paint. :(

i had the same thing happen on my 79, so i just swapped it with the one on my 80. no more problem..

best bet would be to look in the junk yards.
