Rearview mirror arrived today. Got here faster from the Canadian border than some stuff I ordered coming from Texas. US Post Office beat Fed Ex - go figure.

Opened the box - whoa - a little musty.
What's a good a way to de-musty a mirror?

I gave a twice over with Spray 9, a toothbrush and a rag. It smells more like spray9 now, but not mountain air fresh, not even Philadelphia air not so fresh.

Formula 409, scrub, rinse, dry and then follow with Windex.

I may stirred the pot in a couple of threads this afternoon :rolleyes: No offense meant. Like to see folks figure out whats wrong before buying new parts. :)

This picture over in Moparts was pretty funny. Mr E-b-g posted it as proof that's its OK to mix DOT 5 with the other types of brake fluid.
:realcrazy: I thought it was hilarious...

Thanks. I assume most of the aborbotion of odors is in the plastic trim.
Any need to freeze it ? (in case there's mildew or mold??)

Freezing won’t help, the mildew spores can survive that. The 409 surfactant package breaks them up and renders them inert. The Windex follow on kills anything that survives the 409. The combination won’t harm the plastic or the glass mirror.
 
Use a toothbrush to really scrub the 409 into the surface of the plastic and let it soak on there for about 15 mins keeping wet with respray as needed before final scrub and rinse. Mildew can etch plastic and anchor itself deeply in the plastic surface.
