Driver Side Pony Projector Problems
#21
I still wondering what's wrong with it and why it goes bad and will the new one become bad in couple months.

More like a lightning storm! There are more "scratches" visible in person but not as bad as yours were. I do see two similar "scratches" on my d/s projector now too so hopefully the replacements also fix the issue. If not, Id like to know too so I can help avoid it from happening again. The car isnt garaged but I use a car cover, keep her clean and dont touch the mirrors other than a gentle wash & dry with mf sponge & towels and a garden hose on that shower setting.

You’re very welcome!
You can also PM me with your VIN, dealer, full name, and best daytime number so I can escalate it for you as well, Cristoff.

Sounds like a TSB is in our futures. Like the new pics BTW.

Update: projector got replaced, not the entire mirror, but due to weird circumstances surrounding my recent vacation, havent actually been able to confirm the fix at night yet. S/b good, though and it was under warranty.

Looks like I'll be making an appointment too... I totally forgot to bring that up during my service last week. Went out tonight and saw it again, it's getting worse... Passenger's side is still as clear as day one.
Just have to say, as much as I love my pony, seeing that kind of ruined part of the experience of my first Mustang.
I thought it might have been caused by fluctuating temperatures, maybe some water gets in there and freezes, causing damage when I close the door? Either way I'll call the dealer in Monday, but Ford should go back to the drawing board as it makes the car look cheap when it's all messed up like that.
That's just my $0.02

I think its more a matter of water getting in, evaporating, and leaving mineral deposits.
The IMPORTANT thing is that it was never even questioned as to being under warranty and they were easily replaced. It may turn out to be a recurring problem though. Only time will tell.

Mine were replaced under warranty, now every time I wash the car I wrap them up in Cling Wrap and then clean the mirrors at the end.
Now we will see how they stand up against the Costarican rainy season starting this month

Just came in here to post that I was having the same issues with both my mirrors. I took the car in for an oil change yesterday and they said they'll replace them under warranty when the parts arrive early next week. I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue!
