    So this happened to me once. Had a mirror that no matter how I sat in the seat or twisted myself up trying to get a good angle of vision everything was distorted or out of focus. Well after about a week and some serious questions regarding my sanity. It turns out the replacement mirror I purchased had a slight magnification to it. And to be clear, I did not want the mag on the mirror, seems like the worst thing you could do to a side mirror, but who knows maybe when we are all 80 we will need the extra mag on the mirror. It was an after market purchase. I would not be surprised if the factory glass was damaged in transport and an aftermarket glass was installed in its place.

    Check out Summa Performance Mirrors.

    Dammit, I knew coming back here was gonna cause me to spend money on things I don't need :spending: Been off TW for a few months since I don't have my truck (in storage due to being stationed in Korea), logged on to get a license plate mount since I'm getting my truck now, and of course I find more stuff I don't need but gotta have...

    Get the dealer to look at it. If you want it faster, find someone who just replaced theirs with spotters.

    Unfortunately I just threw mine away last week. "No one will want a stock driver's and a cracked passenger," I thought...

    :facepalm:

    Strange driver side mirror as well. Took a while to even notice it.

    The glass appears to be ever-so-slightly warped. Think fun-house mirrors.

    It really is a subtle warp though.

    Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to make it there today. Been working on the truck all morning. New grill, AC Drain Mod, Hood Struts, Tonneau Cover, Bed sticker removal, and now I have my son's baseball game. I'll keep you guys updated. Doesn't sound like I'm the only one out there that has this though

    I finally made it to the dealer today after work. I let her drive and she noticed the same thing I did. They are ordering a new glass replacement and we'll see in a couple days if that does it.
