Help on C5 wing mirror glass
Discussion
Spotted last night. The driver's side has a brown film on it(something to do with photochromatic or whatever the word is?). I realised this because 2 strips, a couple of centimetres by 1 millimetre, have come away at the edge. Does anyone know how I might repair this? The glass is not available separately and I know from personal experience that all in a replacement mirror does not leave change from £400
Interestingly the passenger mirror does not seem to have this film; looking across the colour of the glass looks the same as the driver side glass where the film has come away. Now in 5 years of ownership I have never spotted this colour difference, maybe it was the light playing tricks. Alternatively, a couple of years back I had the passenger mirror replaced, maybe it came with different glass?? My car was UK spec new from Frosts and the mirror was replaced by Frosts. All very bizarre.
