Frameless rear view mirror, cosmetic issue?

My frameless mirror has developed an issue along the bottom edge where it looks like the glass is separating from the reflective material:



Has anyone else noticed this? Anyone try to warranty it?

OEM on the series blue, which is why I was curious about warranty.

Should be covered by base warranty then.

I noticed the frameless mirror on my 2013 FR-S 10 Series was showing this exact issue yesterday. The car was purchased new in the summer of 2014 and has less than 10,500 miles on it - I really can't complain, because the car has been faultless and I've never had a warranty claim yet.

I noticed the delam on mine about a year ago, mine is more on the drivers side and comes up about 1cm higher. It hasn't gotten worse, but if it does replacement mirrors aren't that expensive.

There is a TSB for this. Even if out of warranty my be a chance of getting it done on goodwill if you are really nice to the dealer.

This is the reason that mirrors should be made with frames ........

So there!

Well, all I know is that I bought a new "frameless" computer monitor a few months back and when I started to peal off what I thought was the protective plastic coating on the monitor ....... it was actually ......a part of the monitor's laminate .......

So, therefore ALL things like THAT should have FRAMES .......
