We’ve had our Premium AWD ER for about 2.5 months. We barely have 1300 miles on it. We came home two days ago to find a bird sitting on the driver’s windowsill repeatedly pecking the folded rearview mirror. We didn’t think much of it, so we shooed the bird away and forgot about it. Over the course of the next two days, every time I go outside, the bird is back and pecking the mirror and mirror housing.
It turns out that the bird has a nest nearby and seems to be confronting the perceived threat of its own reflection. The downside? My driver’s side rearview mirror housing now has scratches in the clear coat that I cannot remove with wash/wax. Seriously, you cannot make this sh*t up. The car was pristine and a bird changed that for us.
Any tips on how to easily resolve the scratches in the clear coat? Most wouldn’t notice them, but I know that they’re there and it messes with my OCD.
