Help! Cracked outside mirror covers

[Bear]

I noticed today as I was waxing my 4.6, that both of my outside mirror covers are cracked. I need a favor of everyone. Would you look at your and post if also cracked. Pictures are included. 7800 miles.

This is from under....on top I do not see anything cracking. First is driver side, second is passenger. It looks as if cracks were painted over....

Mnf date Nov 08.

My cracks are on the top. Don't know mfg. date, but purchased in October.

I would get that into the dealer.

Trying to think of things that might cause the plastic to crack.

Huge temp swings....

flying debris , but I expect you would have heard that.

overheating? The shell and the frame expand at different rates causing the cracks....

Do you have any other cracks on other external plastics?

bumpers? fuel panel?

Mine looks exactly the same as yours. I doubt this is a crack. It is too symetrical and exactly the same in both of my mirrors (and just like yours).

As are mine. It's definitely not a crack. Just a simple mold like from when the plastic mirrors are manufactured.

What about under mirrors? Looking at pictures posted by me, those are not molded.

Yep, top of my driver's side mirror is showing a seam/crack through the paint. The passenger's side is not affected yet.
