Those are the symptoms of death. Its unrepairable.

Yep, mine did that. It eventually shrank down to a spot in the middle. Dealer replaced it under warranty, although I still was under 36K back then. Over 75K now and the replacement one is still working fine.

If you decide to replace, you need a Donnelly mirror - no need to buy it from Subaru. (there's a number of people who sell new ones on eBay - they have actually changed the way the dimming work - if you have an old design (which turns dark grey) that's more prone to failure than the new design (which turns a dark greenish-grey)
