Quite interesting. The mirror is about 1/4" thick at the top and 1/8" at the bottom. It is held in place by the plastic frame and there are 6 rubber bumpers behind it that hold it in securely. There is a thick piece of masking tape across the back of the mirror to protect the silver finish on the back of the mirror. The ooze is the minute amount of glue that holds that masking tape on the back of the mirror! Now it is more glue than on tape, but by no means ALOT of glue...just some seriously sticky tape. I was amazed that there was enough to ooze like that year after year. I would bet that if you cut the crustaceuous glue off every winter after a few summers of oozing, it would stop...there just isn't that much in there to ooze! Chris

He got a new shop and didn't want to move his old never-started projects to it. With all the talk there had been about this car on mercedesshop in the last year, I'm surprised there weren't two people willing to bid $4k. http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=91940
