Burnt/charred side mirror film
Hey, fellas, hope all is well with my AZine friends.
Anyone else have an issue with their side mirrors featuring said defect? The edges of the driver side mirror are not so much blue and reflective, but more burnt and oxidized.
I'm still under 100k, any chance this would still be covered under warranty?

the burnt effect is from having your heated mirror setting turned "ON" for an extended amount of time. be sure to turn the setting off after the heated mirror setting has finished doing its job
no it is not under warranty, i tried already

I did what most people did; went out to the dealer and bought new mirror glasses.
It came to around $90 I believe.
If yours are really bad, you can try arguing with them that it's a safety hazard![Dunno](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Good luck man.

Another alternative as Inaccurate swears by is placing a multivex mirror over it.
It's really the only fix besides replacing it with a new OEM one.
Can't reverse the chemical change...

Mine are starting to get a little discoloration...something else ive noticed is that even with the switch in the off position...my drivers and passengers side mirrors will randomly start moving on their own. I literally saw my passengers side go full tilt down (as if i had it in reverse and the switch set to the passengers side) and than return to its normal position. I checked my switch and yep...it was in center (off).
