Yes, my mirrors are heated. Maybe that's it . . .

Here's a picture. I finally got around to taking one. As you can see, the cap is buckled where I circled it . . . but on the right, where the arrow is pointing, there is a nasty indentation that looks like a human fingerprint. It can't be because of the body shop that redid it. The original...

Hmm, that could be a reason . . .

Okay, let me get a chacen to take some pics. In the meantime . . . My dealer did the first replacement of my mirror cap and a local shop where I live did the second. They can't BOTH be incompetent - there must be something in my mirror that's causing this!

For the third time in nearly seven years, the paint job on right rear-view mirror casing has rippled. I've already had it replaced and painted twice before, and now I have to take care of it again??? And the most frustrating thing is, I don't know what keeps causing it and how I can prevent...

I had a similar problem when the hatch wouldn't lock. I had to get the lock repaired by the dealer.

The other day my "check engine" light came on while I was driving, and I made an appointment with my dealer to get it looked at as soon as I could, Then yesterday, I started the car, and the light came on for a couple of seconds like it's supposed to, but it then went off like it's supposed to...

This is the third time this has happened to me this month. I went to put my car away and the rear-door warning light was on, meaning the rear hatch door was open. Now there's the thing. At 3:30 I got home from the supermarket and took some stuff out of the rear. I closed the door. At about...

It must have been a defective mirror cap, or the shop simply redid the old cap and hoped it would work. I'll have to find some way to do something about it . . . if my mother lets me.

Interesting . . . I had no idea. I don't know if it is the original cap. The accident, which occurred in December 2015, banged up my front end and never touched the cap, but I don't know if the shock waves from the accident caused the original rippling. (They might have caused the buckling in my...

P.S. I posted about my original paint ripple five years ago. The fact that it happened again is what really vexes me.

I have what may be a unique problem. A few years ago I noticed that the paint on my right rearview mirror casing was rippling, but I got it fixed. I'd had the car in the shop after an accident, and I thought that the guys at the body shop had something to do with it, because it looked fine...

I had wanted to go to a local mechanic within walking distance of my house, but when i went there to get my car looked at, the mechanics were wearing no PPE - no face coverings, no gloves - and I did not want them working on my car when they wouldn't keep themselves protected in the middle of a...

I pretty much drive it to the post office to mail things now That's all, thanks to this pandemic.

Sorry, everyone, for getting back to you so late, but the problem has been fixed. A new mechanism in the hatch door was the problem, so I had it replaced - for nearly nine hundred dollars! It works better than the original one did before it broke! Glad that's over.

Thanks for the tip! :)

I haven't ruled that out.

COVID. My mother is afraid I'd catch it if I tried to get it fixed over the winter.

Omigosh, I should have sought out this thread before starting one on a similar (exact same?) issue! My rear hatch door gets stuck every now and then when I try to open it with the key fob, and the interior unlocking button doesn't seem to open it anymore. I'm hoping that the necessary repair...
