obey1 Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The result is that the dealer confirmed that the fun house mirrors are a result of a bad batch of mirrors. The housing is fine. The dealer offered to keep replacing mirrors until I was happy. No questions asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammcinnis Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 The dealer offered to keep replacing mirrors until I was happy. Can't they just inspect them when they come out of the box, without having to install them to reveal a defect?

Paradox Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Can't they just inspect them when they come out of the box, without having to install them to reveal a defect? Because then the dealer wouldn't be able to slide one past the customer and move on to the next job, doing the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obey1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 My dealer showed me the mirrors in the box first. The mirrors looked fine. Put them on the car and there was an obvious problem. Honestly I think everyone is just tying to figure this out. Everyone agrees the mirrors are bad on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause it seems like the clips or mounts are warping the mirror, after it is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edarroyo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Maybe they should just change the side mirror housing then? Cause it seems like the clips or mounts are warping the mirror, after it is installed. That's what my dealership did on my car. The odd thing is that it ONLY affects the driver's side mirror. Once they replaced the mirror housing, the funhouse mirror effect is minimal. I'll wait a few more months before complaining again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subisnob Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 My wife's 2012 forester had the same funhouse affect on the driverside. weird. She never got it fixed. I would never use it because it was like going cross eyed. Her 2015 is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obey1 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Obey thanks for the feedback. Can you confirm you finally have good mirrors installed now? I have a drivers side mirror now that is at least 95% Passenger side is 100% The dealers is aware and agrees the drivers side is not 100% perfect. I have not pushed it any farther......yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel4982 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Can you explain what you mean about the rear glass window being defective? Ive had an issue with my rear glass where in the middle seems blurry. I thought it was just me but I don't think so. Any help would be great. I'm also in NJ. Mine was shipped with a defective rear glass window. How no one noticed it is beyond me. Seems the QA on the glass portion of the factory isn't very good.

typer98 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Same thing as you. Blurry in the center. Warped so to speak. They replaced it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Guys, reviving an old one.... I picked up a set of these yesterday and installed them last night. As mentioned in this thread, the funny mirror effect on my driver's side is horrible, too the point I didn't want to look at my mirror while driving...cross eye effect almost made me dizzy.. The set I picked up yesterday was manufactured in November of 2016, so I'm not sure I buy its a "bad batch". Already spoke to the dealer and they are replacing it. Has anyone heard any more on this in the past 2 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdc782 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Hmm. I haven't seen anyone grumbling about this problem in a long time. I got mine in 2015 preinstalled and was really worried i'd get bad side mirrors. The mirror should look basically the same as the original. No warping. I notice a slight doubling affect around headlights when the mirrors are dimmed. It is not problematic at all and it is not present when the mirrors aren't dimmed.
