I've had several do the same thing and I'm convinced that it's adhesive

My guess is that it is urea foam, similar to the spray can foam
insulation. For some reason the catalyst comes alive and reactivates the
foaming reaction.

anal - maybe. BUT I decided NOT to have all the woodwork redone to remove
cracks in the lacquer. I figure they'll just come back over time. BUT to
compensate for leaving the cracks, I wanted to do something and the oozing,
crusty, psoriatic, puss-like mirror REALLY annoys me and thought it

Are you guys talking about the INTERIOR rear view mirror?
My '95 E300D (W124) has that yellow foamy stuff around the edge of the
