mccorry Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Has anyone noticed alot of small grey specs and light grey scratches all over the mirror on the autodim rear view? I noticed this the other day as it becomes obvious when you look at the reflection of a dark surface (seats, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestir Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I haven't noticed this in normal driving. I'll take a closer look later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocs822 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I haven't noticed any spots or speckles. However... I do notice some distortion of the image. For me when I am looking into the mirror the bottom right corner has some warping of the image. I would imagine that there is some defect in the smoothness of the mirror. It is kind of a fun house effect. So back on thread, I have no specks or spots, just "warping". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mccorry Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 The dealer told me that Subaru will not cover this under warranty. Looks like I am going to have to fight it.... I'll try to take some pictures tommorrow to show you guys... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorry Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Well... after fighting them for 2 weeks, they have agreed to order me a new mirror. I went in yesterday to have it replaced... only to find out that they ordered a std. mirror instead of an autodim.... Ah... to wait some more......

TSiWRX Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 What a saga for just a mirror! Sorry to hear that you had to fight them for two weeks - that's just beyond excuse for an obvious defect. Best of luck on your replacement! <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edarroyo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 @ocs822, I actually have that problem with my driver's side mirror. Subaru has recognized they are defective and has instructed the dealer to issue a refund for the moment. I will get my previous mirrors installed. On mine the warpness is pretty bad. Everything is magnified to the point you can't use the mirror w/o getting a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
