IT is terrible that an auto that is only 4 yrs old doesn't have any paint on the side view mirror. I have owned many auto's in my lifetime and this has never happened before. Shame on Honda for not owning up to this problem. I guess I should have done my homework before purchasing a Honda automobile evidently this has been a problem for other buyers of Honda Civics. Buyer BEWARE. This will be an added expense for me to repair the problem.
