Double vision or ghost image in the driver's auto dimming outside mirror (normal)

The article names 2003-07 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Silverado Classic, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Sierra Classic, Yukon and Hummer H2 with RPO DL3 or DL7.

Some owners may comment that the driver's outside auto dimming mirror (RPO DL3 or DL7) has double vision or a ghost image.

The auto dimming mirror uses 3rd surface chrome glass, whereas a mirror without auto dimming uses 1st surface chrome glass.

What to do

No technical document states a check or a repair.

Caution

  • Because the auto dimming fluid lies between the clear glass and the chrome surface glass, some customers may notice double vision or a ghost image, which is a normal characteristic; replacing the mirror will not correct it.
