The clearcoat (or clear plastic coating if its not called clearcoat) is peeling off my drivers side wing mirror - any else experienced this problem. :roll:

Don't think it was caused by a stone chip - and no problems on the passenger side.

Noticed when cleaning today.

Was thinking I would have a conversation along the same line! LOL. :roll:

Just wondered if anyone else had suffered?

Dont bother with chips away

The reason the lacquers probably peeled is poor materials and preparation before,
