Auto dimming rear view mirror defect or sensor?

2024 Ranger Raptor

My auto dimming rear view mirror has a dark spot right in the center at the top. Looks like a defect in the electrochromic to me, but before I take it dealer for warranty work, wanted to check to see if anyone else has this and make sure it is not a sensor or something?

It is hard to get the camera to focus on it, but see pics below. Pretty noticable when it is sunny outside against a bright background.

My bet is thats where the sensor is, behind the glass, and thats why its less mirrored than the rest of the piece.

Does your mirror have it too?

Never noticed, but when I get in my truck after work Ill check for it.

That’s a sensor mate. They all have it. It detects how much light is hitting the front of the mirror (head lights from car behind) and will dim

there’s also a sensor facing the front which senses ambient light and will adjust accordingly too
