That's not acceptable and feel bad as I had a good experience with them and gave them a positive review. I wouldn't be surprised if its not your mirror and they sent one that was ready to go. Hopefully they will make it right. A lot of people on other car forums have had good luck with them also?

I'm going to call Scott (the owner).

I talked to Scott the owner and he said my mirror showed up this way, and that the damage was caused by the internal fluid melting the plastic. There was no leakage when I shipped the mirror, and I fully understand that it could have leaked enroute, but I don't see the damage as being the result of melting. There are gouge marks in the plastic.

It's his word that it showed up that way, and even though it doesn't look like melting I don't think I can hold him to a new mirror or refund, although he offered.

As we used to say at my two previous jobs "Some days you get the bear, and some days the bear gets you".

So they appear to be gouge marks to you too?
I told him that it would be difficult to have those marks just from melting. I think it would take some very strong acid to melt the hard plastic frame. Maybe it IS that strong, but the chemical melting I've see over the years has never left gouge marks.

When mine leaked it created a sticky drop that landed on my shifter. After about an hour it hardened like a rock. That’s gouge damage, not fluid damage. Unless it did harden and it was scraped off. Hard to tell. Even so gravity would dictate drip coming from bottom of mirror not top. Unless fluid dripped while shipping. Where is Columbo when you need him!?

My bad luck.
Time for a new mirror.
