something weird going on with side mirrors, this is the 2nd brass colored one I've seen in two days.. both drivers side mirrors. Anyone know if this is a thing?

 See the difference easily in comparison between these two cars

  1. It's a failure of the reflective coating (silvering) on the inside of the glass. Ancient history, but I used to see a lot of this on 80's and 90's GM cars with heated (de-icing) mirrors. I'm guessing it's the same issue as some engineer fails to learn from history and simply repeats old mistakes.
