When I first got my car 2 years ago, the driver side was browned a little. No the driver side is over half way browned. I work at a car wash and pressure wash "the ****" out of my mirrors atleast once a week...let me tell you that there is zero chance they are gonna "drain" back to normal.

Flynnr is exactly right, water has gotten between the reflective material and glass. If I take my mirrors out of the housing, I could actually peel the reflective from the glass, the glass will be clear and fine but the reflective material is simply ruined.

You asked autozone for replacement mirrors and they quoted you $17? Do they have to be ordered? I doubt they are gonna be tinted/heated glass.

$17 is what they quoted me for my non heated mirrors, but the heating element is not part of the glass is it?
