Rearview Mirror Cloudy?
I have a JK with less than 10K miles on it, and noticed the other day that the rearview mirror looked a bit foggy.
But when I went to wipe it off, I noticed it was already clean on the surface... but the mirror itself appeared to be slightly foggy internally.
Truly a "WTF?" moment.
Not scratches on the surface, mind you... actually "foggy", as if the effect of moisture which gives glass its foggy appearance at times has somehow become internal to the glass of the mirror.
This is something recent, as I would have noticed it sooner... as I have wiped off the mirror already many times on cold mornings since I bought the vehicle.
Anyone else see this phenomenon?

Since the mirror has 2 refelctive surfaces I thought maybe you were getting some of the alternate reflection mixing in and causing the "fogginess".
Thought I'd throw it out there since it's easy to check and rule out.
