Land Rover Repair: Discovery Rear View Mirror, rear view mirror, haynes manual


Question
I am a new owner of a 96 SE7 Discovery with the Auto
Dimming Interior Rear View Mirror.  The inside of the glass
on the mirror is cloudy (most likely from cleaning solution
that has gotten behind the glass), rendering the mirror
close to useless.  On former cars (Alfa's) the mirror would
actually separate into two pieces and both sides of the
glass front could be cleaned.  Can the Disco mirror be
separated in two along the seam?  Also, how do I get the
mirror off?  I have ordered a Haynes Manual, but would like
to fix it sooner if possible.  Thanks for your assistance.

Hello Charles Calkins:

Followup  May 27,2003:

I have been told ... "DON'T open the mirror.  It is filled as it is a LC liquid will leak muck all over. You need a new one....wait until you can buy it"  

In the UK they are priced "over £200 each"
In the US the price is about $300.
In Canada the price is $50,000  ... oops...$500

Original response:
I have the Haynes Manual (3016) and I could not locate any information regarding our rear view mirror.  

What I will do is ask some other Disco owners and see if anyone has viewed this problem before.   I hope I can clear this problem up for you soon,
