Sarn Posted 31January Report Share Posted 31January Hi all. Hoping for some advice. I have a 911, 997.2 Auto Dim Rear View mirror that is hazy. I've read on a US forum that this seems to happen when the auto dim starts playing up and liquid leaks? People have resolved by full replacement or sending in the mirror and having just the mirror part replaced. Some quick phone calls and the cost of a OEM replacement is $1400 for the replacement part, excluding labour. Strathfield car radios have advised that Auto Dim is proprietary technology that is owned by one or two companies and if I wanted it to look like original, then I need to buy original. He suggested getting another branded one with a cover that goes on top of the Porsche setup that has other tech like rear view parking. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue, whether it be with a 997.2 or with another variant and what you did about it. Are there other options to replace with a some other rear mirror that is not Porsche branded. Auto Dim is not a must have. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarn Posted 31January Author Report Share Posted 31January Thanks AD911S. The link that you have provided is for the non Auto Dim version of the mirror, which I'm perfectly fine with. Would you (or anyone) know if this would be a straight swap out from the Auto Dim version? I will send a note to them and ask the question to them as well. Thanks.

Sarn Posted 6February Author Report Share Posted 6February For the record, Pelican parts was not able to confirm whether a non auto dim mirror would fit the auto dim housing. Other porsche specialist independents werent able to confirm either. It's not something that people do, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also give these guys a go, although be warned it’s sad to see some many wrecked Porsches https://www.ladismantler.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AAAC Posted 17February Report Share Posted 17February Have a look at some of VW and Audi mirrors of the same period. They may fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
