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”
 :grin: :grin:

LOL.
What, what? :wink:

Has anyone tried feeling the mirror glass to see if it gets hot, the mk5 ones did?  Mine were stone cold today after 15mins of being on.  Was a little dissappointed in there clearing capabilities, and the fact that all water attracts itself like a magent to the glass as it flies off the bottom and around to stick to it. :rolleyes:

My passenger side mirror was only luke warm to the touch & took a good 10 mins to fully clear. My driver side mirror was on the other hand toasty hot and frost free within minutes. Perhaps that's because the driver side mirror is nearer to the heated mirror switch :) LOL !!!

Put mine on this morning we had a heavy overnight frost and within seconds they were pretty warm, 1 minute down the line and they were red hot so yeah they work a treat, not sure about the knob to turn them on, it seems pretty wobbly to me.

Amanda, the cheek of Glen calling you a lass. You are a lady.
Honestly, every one is a lass to these hard edged men up there in the FAR NORTH! :rolleyes:

Aye lad, but then Glen is a fine Scottish laddie just like myself (well not a laddie :rolleyes:) so all ladies are lassies and I am no offended, he has been very helpful with regard to winter tyres which I am having a complete nightmare sourcing by the way :wink:
