I have a '21 110 X-Dynamic HSE, and I'm having the same issue with the driver side mirror.

 

Is it only the drivers side (left) for everyone in USA? My passenger is fine, no issues. Drivers side... getting more purple by the day!

 

both for me. Not as bad as some of the pictures posted, but still both sides.

 

Mine was both sides.

 

Bumping this thread. I have a '22 with only 19k miles on it. Starting to see this issue in direct sunlight.

 

Went to LR and was told it happens to all the LR and Jag products up and down the line... They need to use a different plastic composite...

 

Yes, or some Chinese manufacturer did 'screw' them.

 

Is this a warranty claim? Anybody tried?

 

Personally, I put this squarely in the lap of the EU regulators. They mandated plastics easily degrade and break down starting after 10 years. Some attempts are better than others. BMW's suffered plastic connectors that would crumble in your hand after a couple of years. There were issues with many parts not paying attention to the schedule. Not a chemist, but there are additives you put in plastics to either promote the breakdown when exposed to UV or others that protect the plastic from it. Again, I will use an airplane scenario to illustrate. Aircraft interiors are presently thin vacuum molded plastic. They are very sensitive to UV, since they had to make them from a form of ABS that has high fire resistance (which I suppose gives near zero UV resistance). Airplanes tend to be greenhouses and let in tons of UV, since they spend a lot of time outside. The über expensive parts rapidly degrade and crumble unless...you paint them. Even says so on the instructions that come from the manufacturer. They do come color matched, but they state you should paint them regardless. For interiors, the paint of choice is SEM. Exterior, any single stage poly will do. Just think of all the fun color combos you can achieve by painting the mirrors. On the other hand, I did get the clear view mirror, kind of cool. Wish they had extended it to side view as well. Fewer things to wack creosote bushes with.
