Default Rear View Mirror Dripping Fluid

My rearview mirror has dripped most of its dimming fluid out. Very bizzare
and it caused quite a mess.

Do I have to replace the whole mirror? Is there a way to fix?

Has anyone dealt with this mess yet?

Yeah you have to replace the mirror glass. Take a clothes hanger and cut two 6" pieces. Bend the ends of them into little hooks. Place the hook ends behind the glass and pull out. The glass will pull out of it's socket and you can then disconnect the wiring. The part number should be on the back of the glass. If you want to save a few bucks order it from worldimpex.com or clairparts.com.

My autodim mirror just crapped out a few weeks ago, under warranty luckily but from what the dealer told me its a somewhat common problem they see

Lol... I thought this was like a "blinker fluid" post. Didn't realize this was a real problem.
