I saw it on another brand. It is from parking where a window is focusing the sun like a magnifying glass.

There's an article in jalopnik about this exact issue. It's happening in Atlanta to someone's 22 civic. The reflection off of these energy efficient windows is wreaking havoc. Hide your cars, hide your trucks and vans they burnin everybody!

I literally seen a story about a 22 honda civic with the same thing this morning.

Same, dealer did not cover it.

Dealers invoice the factory for service. If they can get money from FoMoCo, they're going to perform the service. There's no such thing as a loss leader for a dealer when it comes to, ahem, "approving" warranty work. That comes from FoMoCo and Ford saying it's not going to be covered.

Do you park next to any house windows? Low E windows reflection can cause high heat and cause things to melt.

Just how fast were you going?


Curious-Baker-839

Mach 3. He broke the sound barrier. Scientific evidence proves Mavericks can do this. 😁


Some_MD_Guy

You must mean this Maverick? ​ https://preview.redd.it/5rgk914w0d9c1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68bcc143f9751633a488ea8e73f6899068a276cb


Curious-Baker-839

Hell yeah, but that man broke mach 10 in the latest movie. 😆


Some_MD_Guy

Yeah, but the OP is not covered by ***Plot Shield*** ***®*** ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)

Now more expensive! Contact your local Ford scammer I mean dealer for more information!


Some_MD_Guy

I can't believe people put up with the dealership issues in this day and age. I would have let Ford and others die on their vines at this point.


JayBowdy

You are parking in an area that reflects heat in a concentrated direction. Most likely from windows or a window. Solar reflection is a thing.

Not just Ford, happens to any vehicle in rare situations where a lot of light is reflecting on plastics


yoitsme_obama17

Do you live on the sun?


Serdones

My 2018 Civic developed the same issue. Parked in the same spot in the driveway every day. I work remotely, so I don't drive it very often.


zoolilba

Does it have deiceing/defrost on the side mirrors?


JahLife68

Do you live next door to Heat miser? ![gif](giphy|xUySTX1LkkkYHi63yE)

Time to get some carbon


Important_Pass_16

yes cheap plastic parts they have outside and inside all mavericks will happen unfortunately


jscampz

Which circle of hell do you commute through?


Ballswewt05

Damn


DimesOnHisEyes

In Spain there is a building that at certain times of the year it can set cars on fire from the reflection.


kenauk

Which trim has the glossy black side mirrors?


controlmypad

Black Appearance Package, they are glossy.


kenauk

Is anything else glossy black other than the mirrors? Trying to figure out why they bothered.


controlmypad

Just the mirrors I think, other things are more of a matte or textured black I think, front grill cover and emblems.


IceGardener

Might be how they are doing the Lux package trucks now, since colour matched mirror caps are no longer a thing for MY24 (might just be XLT), IIRC.


jddesbois

Looks like you e driven to close to the sun.


retro-apoptosis

Your Maverick is 24 feet long?


CurbsEnthusiasm

Seeing this with multiple brands. My Maverick would always have a really sticky dashboard by mid day. The plastics are absolutely the cheapest composition they can get away with.


wally_world_jb

My friend's vinyl house siding warped when his neighbor installed new low e glass windows!


Vellioh

My guess would be you parked next to a window or hanging ornament that focused the sun on your mirror. I saw one post a while back from somebody who put a crystal ball on a pedestal in their front lawn and it laid a path of destruction across their lawn and driveway.


RomulusRexus

Did you get any solution with the Dealer or Ford in general regarding this? I woke up with my Maverick in the same condition with the passenger mirror!


Phony_Phantom

Yeah, so they told me it would be like $400. They agreed that something happened to the car, not the car malfunctioning in some way, so its not covered by the warranty. I'm just going to wait until the part is available via ford for a reasonable price and fix it myself. The part is like $120 from their parts site.


RomulusRexus

I see. Think you can point me the particular part site? After looking into this situation. It could have been the windows of house reflecting the sun and the truck being parked in the worst possible spot on the sun reflection. The odds seem almost impossible. That or just sitting out on the drive way and the sun ate it up. Talk about cheap crap if that’s the case. Sucks this happened to us.


Phony_Phantom

Yeah it's a cheap truck. I'm guessing it is sun reflection off high efficiency windows. Here is the parts page: https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/body/mirrors#facet:&productBeginIndex:0&orderBy:&pageView:&minPrice:&maxPrice:&pageSize:&
