    Hey,

    Has this happened to anyone? Ive done searches and didn't see much. It happened after a bit of extreme heat where I live and now at night where the temp gauge is located, it seems the green is bleeding out. So it has this green hue in the top quarter of the rear view mirror screen.

    Im going to the dealer tomo as my truck is only a few months old but curious if its happened to anyone and their experiences.


    Cheers

    Could that be what dims the mirror?

    I know what you mean by the dim when there are lights reflecting. That creates a greenish looks to the whole mirror. But this seems unique to the temp area and the color matches the temp gauge color....So a darker green specific to that area.

    I wanted to snap a pic but keep forgetting.


    Art skills go....

    Kinda like that if that makes sense haha, the "g" being the green bleed.

    if your truck is new id go back to the dealer to find out WTF is going on, even if you dont pay them to fix it they can at least tell you what is wrong with it.

    As long as no dogs are kicked!

    As for the mirror it may be that, I have the morning off anyways so im stopping by as i do some errands. Curious what they will say. Don't want the hassle of swamping the mirror if its "normal"

    It''s my first new vehicle so i figure id be anal a bit if things go wrong or weird. Get my 31k worth lol.
