Mirror Glass broke today, need help

Okay so today I was trying to put my Silverado SS in my storage unit and to make a long story short, driver side mirror caught the edge of storage unit :doorway and broke the glass. So I need to know if the Dale Earnhardt edition Silverado SS pickup trucks have auto dimming side mirrors or not? I am looking to getting the new glass part with the backing plate and all. I just need to know how to figure out if it has auto dimming side mirrors or not? Please let me know

A bunch of the ISS trucks were sorta stripped down, if it has leather and the full center console, then you probably have auto dimming. Does it look like some ooze in the mirror glass now that it's broken? If so that's it. Good luck, that glass is like $300+

Yeah, after it broke, there was a fluid leaking down from the mirror. I figured it out. Called dealership yesterday to ask about it and they told me what I had.

 

Also I don't have to worry about buying new parts for my SS right now because mine has a warrenty on everything. So I'm going to use warranty to get it fixed along with all of the other little issues it's having. Needs a front wheel alignment, the switch for seat heat for driver side seat is not working right. Also got a small exhaust leak and the back seat knob or handle to fold up back seat broke and the handle on my driver side door broke on inside. I'm not referring to the door handle to open the door, I'm referring to the handle to pull door shut when getting in vehicle. A small piece inside broke and it's been like that since I got this pickup truck last year. I was just waiting for some more issues to go wrong on this so I can make it worth while to use warranty to get all of these little problems fixed. Warranty has a $250 deductable, which is what I pay and warranty covers the rest of the cost.

Extended warrantys wont cover trim items and they may not cover mirror if they see it got hit... Typically they cover mechanical defects and a mirror exploding into a million pieces isn't exactly a mechanical defect.... Lol.
