Distortion and Ghosting Driver Mirror

Im too sober to be seeing cars behind me riding piggyback through my mirror, so I stopped by local ford dealership and they
checked me and said I was sober, but the mirror had too
much...so they are getting me a new mirror, but refused
to pay for the new glasses I bought...Oh well.

I am with you, brother. My mirror makes me feel woozy. I was not aware that this can be fixed. I just thought it was part of the auto dimming, or something.

I have the same problem too - so bad I've been thinking about bringing it up to the dealer at my first service. Fine during the day, but at night it's down right fuzzy.

This was brought up a while back, I did not notice the problem then and I still do not have the problem.

They probably swap the mirror out at this time. Someone else got theirs swapped out a few months ago.

I thought the bizarre mirror would be very annoying at first, but I've gotten used to it and find it to be no problem after all.
