I may have found out why our rear view mirrors suck...

man alive...that photo of the mirror with the issues is nuts! My 09' mirror is fine. Sounds like you found a very good "work a round" though. I personally love the home link so I wouldn't want to give that up. I hate having to carry the regular garage openers on my visor or in the console compartment.

so this was a used mirror for $35? or bulk sale?
My mirror has black crap on it like that too, and I'm pissed I didn't take care of it during the warranty period.
I thought it was a gentex mirror. so it isn't huh?
Anyway, the replacement mirror the dealer installs is a gentex, but it's a damn ripoff.
I don't use the garage buttons, so this could be a solution for me too.
I'm surprised the wiring harness matched up. Different gentex mirrors have different connectors.

I got it off ebay. It was in great condition.
As far as the wiring harness, the plugs were the same, but the replacement mirror came with a stub on it to splice in the existing wiring. The GS mirror has a Male connector that plugs into the headliner. The ES has a female, so it was very helpful to have that male stub to do the wiring.
