In doing a google search on other web sites, this appears to be a somewhat common problem.  Some others have stated it is a $300 part, which I do not feel would be worth replacing.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Do you think that Subaru would repair it under warranty?

Doubt subaru would cover it if the car is out of warranty.

 

Might consider an aftermarket replacement. Amazon has some for $150 range.

 

 

Also saw a Subaru WRX OE mirror on Amazon for $120.

I just today bought a rear view mirror for my 2013 Outback with compass, auto-dimming, and Homelink for $78 at the local junkyard, Spaldings, in Spokane Valley, WA.  I got the cable also and in 5 minutes upgraded my wagon to have Homelink so I could ditch the separate garage door opener.

 

These mirrors appear to be fairly universal among the various Subaru models/years.

 

Also the manufacturer is Gentex and probably one of the generic mirrors will work.

Those always fail. You have to buy a new one.
