Driver side mirror image distorted/blurry.

I just had my puddle lights replaced. Drivers side went after 9 months, passenger side went a month later and the driver side again on the morning of the replacement of the passenger side....
but the annoying part was the replacement of the mirror glass that they broke during the installation of the lights.The image in the new mirror glass was distorted and doubled,just like wearing a glasses with the wrong prescription,making me dizzy and disoriented...went back ,they ordered a new glass ,replaced it and it was fine but still not 100% but acceptable. This morning had the drivers side mirror glass broken again and replaced again with the new one and now the image is blurred and stretched....
Its driving me crazy...going back to the dealer tomorrow morning....

Anybody else had the same problem or is it just my luck.....???

Thanks.

i actually noticed the exact same thing this morning. i had the puddle lights replaced this morning and the driver side mirror has some bad distortion. When they replaced it, the mirror position program was way off as well. i am going to have to make an appointment to get it looked at to get it corrected. it is pretty damn bad.

You are not alone. I had my driver side puddle light replaced, the mirror was broken in the process and then replaced. The replacement has some distortion, I don’t know who is manufacturing the replacement mirror but it is inferior for sure.

Took car to acura this morning. The service advisor took a minute to see the distortion. He called up the lead tech and luckily the tech has seen it before. They are ordering me a new glass and will let me know when it is in for replacement.
