Repair Rear View Mirror?

[sifaan]

Hi all!

 

2 nights ago I noticed a patch of lighter colour on the rear view mirror (oval shaped, slightly above the middle) and on further inspection it looked like there was some fluid in the rest of the mirror that was missing in the patch. The next evening, the mirror was almost totally clear, but there was some fluid at the bottom, and further more there was fluid slowly dripping out of the bottom (where the switch is)

 

the auto-dimming function is normally ON, but was OFF when I noticed the problem and the leaking.

 

Does anyone know if this can be repaired (refill the fluid and seal the leak) or does the mirror need to be replaced?

 

Thanks
