Does anyone else have this problem where the sensor on the rear view mirror to make it dim doesn't get any light from the cars behind because of the brake light under the rear window? Without any light, it doesn't dim correctly.

 

If the light is hitting the mirror so that you can see it in the mirror, it should be hitting the sensor?

I have not had this issue .

The light is hitting the rear view mirror but the rear brake light under the back window casts a shadow and prevents any light from hitting the sensor. What is circled in white is causing a shadow in the area circled in yellow. I don't know what else to do.

 

That is the sensor, but the rear brake light shadow does not pose an issue. My brake light sits slightly higher since it has the F Spoiler on it.

 

Move the mirror up or down to get it out of the shadow?

I have the same issue myself. I was wondering if there was a way to manipulate the mirror to stay dark. In the meantime I have been looking for some kind of tint to overlay on it. I have searched for electrostatic tint to no avail.

 

Hi Guys,
I have the same problem as Lpv mentions for a year and a half now. DId you get it fixed or find a solution for it.
thanks
