    Default Heated Door Mirrors. – 21-02-2010,11:31 AM
    Just a quick question, I have noticed that heated mirrors are seperate from heated rear window .

    What do most people do? Do they switch the heated mirrors off or leave them on?

    they're on a timer so it's not a problem to leave them on, although i find that if i leave them on all the time the filthy water drying out makes it impossible to see anything in the mirrors so i only use them to get rid of frost rather than droplets

    I pretty much turn them off when the frost/condensation build up is cleared with the hope of making the heater element last longer. Only time will tell...
