Original mirror was replaced by the dealer, when the replacement mirror failed one year and one month later the dealer has refused to replace it. Even though he admits there is a problem with the design of this mirror the replacement has only a one year warranty.the manufacturer now places the burden on me to continue to replace the mirror as it fails, even when they know the mirror is of a bad design. When the mirror fails it is most difficult to see into it.
