Why don't my door mirrors defrost? Because I am a ditz!!! They do!!!!

I cannot get these to defrost at all.
The driver's door mirror has a vertically installed element, but the pasanger one does not.
I have both the Winter and Luxury packs.

Hmmmm strange, mine work fine ( and I need them every morning of the year according to you!  )

Do you turn the dial to the correct setting up the top?

I take it your using the mirror heater controls on the door and not just assuming the button on the dash does the rear window and the door mirrors? I made that mistake on my Mk5 for about 3 years  :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:

LOL I'm glad it wasn't just me then..... seriously I made this mistake on my Mk5 for 3 bloody years. I even got the dealer to check the car out when it was in for a service a couple of times and of course every time they said the mirror heaters were working perfectly. I had wrongly assumed they were just not very efficeint.

How emabarrasing, that's what happens when you don't read the manual. But us real men don't read manuals... we just like playing with our knobs (in the car that is)

Real men don't read manuals...........just forums!

I have to admit I have not read 99% of the manual. I only read it to find out where the tyre pressures were written.
Never noticed that they were written inside the flap! :embarassed:

I remember working this out a while back . I had to show a work mate how to get his mirrors to demist the other week on his mk6 too.

I can just see it now

Service manager - “oh no here he comes again”
AM1W- “good morning my good man I have yet another problem with my car”
Service manager-” I’m sorry to hear that sir, what seems to be the problem?”
AM1W- “well the problem is my wing mirrors are not defrosting”
Service manager -”have you tried turning the mirror heater control on? “
AM1W- “very good carry on”
