Anyone Else Having There Sideview Mirrors Getting "foggy"


Recommended Posts

Posted

Over the past few months I thought the driver side side view mirror just wouldn't get clean, it appeared alittle hazy around the edges. Even after cleaning. Now the whole thing is taking on that appearance. passenger side seems fine. There is something wrong with it, I am thinking maybe it is the "heated" feature since the mirrors are heated. I will take it back to the dealer but was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

Same problem here with my '07 Silverado. It clears up after a few minutes of driving. I suspect it has something to do with the auto-dim function since the pass mirror does not have auto-dim and does not suffer from the fogging.

I haven't had problems with my Yukon yet. Does your mirror have the blinker? I know on my Ford mirror, that had the blinker, it was manufactured by Muth Mirror and they had trouble with the silver coating, on the glass. Muth replaced many under warranty.

no, the mirror does not have the blinker in it. Also, it doesn't ever clear up. As sad as it is to say, it is starting to look like the mirror on my other 23 year old GMC! Its like the foil behind it is discoloring (21 years too soon).

    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday. 
    • I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
