them? Seems
it should be warranty. Glen.

> The mirror surface seems to be made of a soft plastic, which

> sun angle (sunrise / sunset) from the rear of the truck. Then the
> mirror glints with a million points of light, makeing it useless.
> The mirrors have always been washed with mild car wash soap, and
> dried with a towel, or with de-ionised water for a spot free
> apperance. Even with such care, the surface is ruined forever,
> there is no polish process that can repair the damage, replacement
> is needed, with a GLASS mirror.
> The hazzard is while towing, with a camper shell, there is no rear
> or side vision at the indicated times.
> This is caused by useing a lightweight, soft plastic mirror,
> instead of glass, which could be matained with normal care.
