I recently installed an F30 rear view mirror, but I started noticing some image distortion. Is this common? Any tips on how to reduce it?

Yes, image distortion can occur if the mirror is not mounted correctly or is misaligned. Make sure it’s level with your line of sight.

I had the same issue! Check to see if the adhesive on the mount has fully cured. Sometimes it can cause weird angles.

That’s a good point. I also faced electrical faults with my mirror—flickering lights and auto-dimming features just stopped working. Any advice?

For electrical issues, ensure all connections are secure. If it’s still faulty, a reset might help. Just disconnect the battery for a few minutes and reconnect.

That reset trick worked for me once! I was skeptical at first, but it did clear some glitches. Great tip!

Speaking of glitches, has anyone dealt with a mounting issue where the mirror just won’t stay attached? I’m unsure if it’s a bad mount or what.

I had a similar problem! I used a stronger adhesive after the stock one failed. Just ensure you prep the surface well before applying.

Sounds smart! I wonder if some people simply forget to clean the surface thoroughly. That could be a major oversight.
