What's up with this mirror?

The other day my wife noticed a color difference on the inside rear view mirror.

Any thoughts?

Should I just find a replacement mirror?

So the fix is a new one, or should I try a salvage yard?

I ordered a $12.00 plain **** replacement from Walmart .com and it has worked fine for me. Easy install too.

go on eBay. any mirror from mid 90's to current will work.

if you want auto-dim, shoot for a 1999-2005 model.

if you are electrically handy, you can easily make any Ford mirror and some chevy mirrors work quite easily. just make sure the window mount is the same
