I own a '99 Ford Expedition-both of the side mirrors have deteriorated to the point I can barely see out of them during the daytime, and its impossible to see out of them at night. I went back to the Ford dealership and was informed they can't do anything about mirrors deteriorating and to replace both will be 498. 00 a piece plus taxes. I have extended coverage, which state they won't pay for replacement ,due to mirrors being considered glass. Service dept at the Ford dealership said that mirrors are not glass and that it's actually reflexor paper or something. I would appreciate if you could look into matter. I have done some research and have found the deterioration of side mirrors on Ford Expeditions to be a well documented service problem under the website of recalls. This is my 2nd time trying to get Ford to work with me on this matter.
Rearview mirrors on passenger's and driver's sides are deteriorating. Consumer can't see out of mirrors. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated that mirrors were defective. But, consumer's warranty expired.
I would like to file a complaint about the rearview mirrors on my 1999 eddie bauer Expedition. I noticed before my warranty ran out that they began to show black spots. The maintance department at my local Ford dealership brushed it off as no big deal. After my warranty ran out, I again told the maintance department that the mirrors were worsening. Now after a few years have passed, and speaking to other owners of that specific model, the mirrors are unuseable. I feel that the mirrors are a defect of the manufactorers and think they should be the one to replace them. I have been quoted a price of $400. / mirror for replacement on my part. Please investigate this matter and respond to me.

The side view mirrors on both sides are turning black. Consumer can barely see out of them. A technical advisement was issued, #00-18-09, by Ford in reference to delamination of signal mirrors.
When the vehicle was purchased new the consumer noticed that the outside rear view mirrors had black lines and specks in them. The dealer indicated that all the vehicles were like that. Now, some years later, the black film on the back of the glass started wrinkling and the black specks became worse. This defect has caused poor visibility.
