Extreme Side Mirror Tint??

[ericd]

Hey guys,

This morning my side mirrors were acting very strange. Occasionally I will be able to notice a minor tinting which comes in handy. But this morning for whatever reason it was stuck in full blast tint mode and it lasted like that for my entire drive. I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen this. Maybe it just had perfect lighting conditions to act weird. Iv'e never seen it where you can clearly see the whole outline of the tinted area like this.

Was your rear window defroster on?

Kind of looks like the car behind u had their bright lights on, which triggered auto dim

maybe but I've been blasted before and it was that pronounced

was their junk on the front light sensor of the mirror?
it works as a differential. if the rearward light sensor is brighter than the front, it tints, and how big the difference is determines how much.

Did you have your rear slider open? Might will get real dark when I am driving to work in the dark and I have my rear slider open for some fresh air and headlights are able to hit the sensor without having to go through the tinted rear window. It will also get like this when I start my truck in the garage and all of the light from outside floods in from the rear but the front side of the truck is still somewhat dark.

My 2015 Silverado used to do this occasionally. If the environment is just right the mirror goes super dark for a while, seemingly for no reason.
