Anyone else have a "funhouse" rear view mirror? The mirror in my 05 makes everything behind me look really tall. Regular passenger cars look like Broncos. I don't know if this is a "feature" of the car, or I just got some messed up part, but it's VERY annoying. Anyone else have this?

Sounds neat, but no, my mirror is perfectly normal.

There are laws against driving under the influence of intoxicating substances skippy. I'd suggest getting off the crack pipe.

While I don't have your probelm, I do have a similar problem. Everything in my mirror gets real small, real fast.

Mine did this, until I flipped the switch at the bottom changing it to dark mode, then repositioned the mirror to see through the clear part again.

Replaced the mirror this morning. No more funhouse mirror . Guess it was just a defective part.

That's pretty funny, man. I'dkeep the defective mirror and stick it on a buddy's car just to prank them. Most amusing.

The dang replacement mirror does the same thing! If you look at the mirror, and go from top to bottom, the middle portion of the mirror makes everything look fatter. And no, I've never done drugs!
