Yeah... seriously...
AFAIK they should cover the "safety" defects event without warranty. Not sure how Subaru is, or even Scion.

I had a '04 Accord Coupe previously, and its driver's seatbelt buckle would be defective, leading to the SRS airbag light coming on. The car was already out of warranty for both miles and years, but the dealership took it in and replaced the seatbelt buckle at no charge because it was considered a safety issue.

I would have imagined the mirror to be a safety issue as well, but I can't say for sure. It's probably not as important as a seat belt harness, though.
