I'm taking my car in for a 15,000 mile service and asked about the fix for the weeping mirrors problem.

The service guy told me that the "fix" doesn't really fix the problem, but just moves the stream of water somewhere else. He said they would do it, but he wasn't that encouraging. I figure that I should call his bluff and get it done anyway.

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

vegas, your dealer is an idiot, yet absolutely correct. Correct, in the sense, that yes, the TSB DOES channel the water somewhere else, but that somewhere ELSE IS NOT ON YOUR DOOR PANELS!!!

I, like many others on this forum, had the fix applied on both mirrors and they weeped on my black X no more.

I would reference the TSB (search on this site) and ask the dealer to do it and do it to your satisfaction. If not, go to another dealer. A pain, but you have put up with this a long time!

Your Dealer = Moron

Yea, the water gets channeled "somewhere else"

That "somewhere else" = outside of the mirror housing.

Get it done.


(edit: LOL - I see Octavian beat me to the punch while I was typing)

that's not true...

The fix works if they do it properly. The Worm posted a detailed description that supports the TSB here:

I printed out Worm's post when I took mine back for the 3rd time & the description in the post describes what needs to be done.

(edit: wow Octavian & Worm were replying at the same time - so it's a triple play!)

Great feedback ...

Thanks everyone, I'll be asking that the problem be fixed per the TSB.
