Hey guys, have you ever heard of the plastic covering of the side view mirror warping like this? I came out to my 2014 BRZ limited yesterday and found some weird damage. It wasn't parked in a place where another car could park (I call it the spot because it is next to some grass and on the other side (drivers side) there is a white 'do not park here' stripped box). It doesn't really mesh with a door or pedestrian hitting it either, the cover seems wavy almost as when you squish a sponge with your hands and your fingers go in and the rest stays normal with a weird textured mark sort of like a fingerprint. Not a scratch or impact ding.
It wasn't until I googled 'side view mirror damage warped' that I found similar looking damage on a Jag. Am I crazy? Is it just some jerk that screwed up the covering and ran away? Or could a malfunctioning side mirror heater cause warping like this on the cover? I did have to use the defroster (which I guess turns the mirror heaters on) that morning because of ice.
