Both outside mirrors reflect the AC vents off the dashboard. It goes away when windows are open. Is this a ford issue or aftermarket tinted windows causing this? I bought this 2023 used so I don't know if the windows have aftermarket tinting or not. Anybody else have this issue?

Mine has normal tint and I have noticed the reflection
Go to a tint place have them look to see what's on it.
Should be a makers mark in a corner

Not sure it's in the mirrors, but mine got tinted a couple weeks after I bought it, the reflection showed up immediately.

Welcome to the forum! If the front windows are as dark as the rear windows then they have been tinted. The front are a lot lighter from the factory. Most people will tint the windows so they all match.

Front windows are not as dark as the back so this must be a Ford issue. I will pursue with the dealer next time I go in.
