    I just noticed today that the drivers side mirror seems like it's fish bowled... it's extremely hard to focus and makes you dizzy and almost instantly sick whenever I looked in it today, the wife noticed it recently also. the only thing that's changed is the temperature as it's around the -22C mark. Any ideas?

    Well an update. Took it in for its first oil change and to get the trans tsb done and the mirror looked at, they haven't replaced it but they did see the distortion and checked other ones on the lot and noticed that all the ones with blind spot monitoring lights in the mirror were distorted and the ones without were not.
    Waiting to see if anything comes up but at least it's been noted.

    Coldest day I worked was -52 C. changing taps on an oil filled transformer (bare arm elbow deep in oil) should have turned the transformer on for a bit to warm up the oil!

    The coldest temp I ever experienced was -22F with windchills around -50 or so back in the 1990's and that was horrible!
