Rear Mirror Leak

[Figas]

I used these guys (kazza-tech) on ebay.

Very professional service, sent the mirror on Monday and had it back by Friday.

:thumbs:

for £120 I would definitely recommend them. especially if you don't want to get a soldering iron out yourself.

Anyone have experience of these guys?

Quick turnaround and reasonable price by the looks of it.

My mirror is beginning to show signs of failure (irregular dimming) so need to do something soon.

Thanks Shim, good info.

Had mine repaired by Kaazatech last week....then Williams BMW rang me to say covered by warranty...(although it wasnt when I asked the previous month!) arrghh!

I've just refitted my mirror after using this guy. The service was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone who thinks their mirror is on the way out.

Also just to add...he mentioned that he does a slightly discounted rate to forum members so best to mention that if you email him john [at] mirrorjohn [dot] com

The oval mirror as fitted to the CSL is no longer available (again Williams) they will fit the later model rectangular one under warranty. Good job you didn't get them to replace it!

I think I might take mine off, it has a small oval shape in the middle of the mirror? Same shape as the mirror, smack bang in the middle about 50mm, maybe a bit less across. I put some plastic bags round it before it went in the carcoon. Feeling I should take it off just in case.

Once mine is locked up for Xmas I'm sending mine off as well.

YES. We covered this brother yoda :thumbs:

Covered but left the f-ing thing in the car. I didn't think it would melt the plastic and thought plastic bags would do :clown:

I had the oval shape appear in my mirror and based on all the horror stories was dreading the mirror leaking its corrosive liquid on to the centre console and SMG surround.

Was planning to be near the Southampton area so arranged to go to John's house so that he could replace the mirror there and then. John's a real M3 enthusiast with his own E46 M3 and a soft spot for CSLs, cannot recommended highly enough. The replacement was done conscientiously and worked great straight away. For those who have better DIY skills than me (so everyone basically), the mirrorjohn website has detailed instructions on options and fitting.

Just done my rear view mirror, usual leak in class , got new class supplied by mirror john, easy repair bit off soldering, far as I can tell as good, if not better than original,and 1/4 of price

My mirror glass went suddenly a couple of weeks ago so i whipped it off before it leaked onto the dash.

I used the Mirror John replacement service and it is top class :thumbs:

Interestingly my mirror dimming function never worked since i have got the car, 4 years ago. I have read that this is usually the sign for a failing mirror.. but i dont have any bubbles or leaks of course. :smt017

My mirror has started to go after trip to Le Mans Bugatti track day, so now bagged up and will be removed in the next couple of weeks. :bigcry:
