    Anyone else have their mirrors start to fade quickly? This truck is only 4 years old and I'm starting to notice the driver mirror is fading to light gray.

    Pics would help. I would assume you park outside?

    I'll take pics tonight.

    I do park outside, however I've never seen something fade as fast as this.

    Carbon black usually doesn't fade in plastic, it gets dirty/dry and than looks faded. You can use some silicon spray or "Mother's Back to Black"
