Front passanger side mirror has mylar backing detaching itself from the glass causing distortion and 'a scratching' effect on the mirror's surface.

2 Rearview Mirror problem

I am under 5'. The ability to see using the sideview mirrors is nearly impossible. During daylight hours, I weave my head back and forth, looking through the high seats. However, night driving is a terror! the sideview mirrors--regardless of positioning, do not give a clear view of vehicles or headlights. Further, since it is dark, if a car is a dark color it can not be seen! my husband, who is 5'8" does not have a problem. Thank you for listening.

3 Rearview Mirror problem

Side mirrors contain embedded turn indicators. Assembly is faulty causing mirror to become unusable when light shines directly in, I. E. When the sun is shining from the rear of the vehicle. Glue, assembly components, etc. Become visible through mirrored surface.
