Thanks, will see if I can find some rubber cement. I had no idea these couldn't be replaced. Seems very wasteful to have to buy an entire mirror for a small piece of plastic. I am surprised Aliexpress or similar don't do them.

It’s supposed to be grey. You don’t have a manually changed mirror do you? I’m pretty sure that’s not a thing anymore. Quite unusual circumstance and I’m sure it’s related to the cold. Did you touch it or make contact with it in some way? Back in the day when manual mirrors were still a thing you would change the mirror from day to night by twisting the clown nose.



This is your answer.

Thanks, what was the link in the bit above where you put "this is your answer"? It isn't showing.
