Mirror Defrost

[sgryzko]

I live in Calgary and it is getting bitterly cold. I just noticed that the mirrors do not defrost like in most other cars. How much would defrosting mirrors cost. Is it worth it?

 

[sgryzko]

I guess i could scrape the windows but I'm lazy and I don't want to damage the mirrors.

I've never heard of any kit to add this on...it's not an option here in the States, so you'd have to check into if it's a Euro-spec option or not. Then replace both mirrors and get tie it into your rear defroster.

Always an option I've wanted, but never a deal breaker...so I end up without it. Good luck!

they do have kits but not sure if they have any for p5's

 

[Brian MP5T]

Scratchy Scratchy!!

 

[ZiO]

wow.. it takes not even 5 seconds to do each mirror.. you ARE lazy! Lazier than me!

lol

 

[bougha]

buy E-spec mirrors
No idea of the price though.

I've got defrost in my -99 pro

 

[sgryzko]

Yeah its not that big of a deal. Just inconvenient. And I'm angry at the weather so I had to complain.

 

[Ritchey]

the weather is just great up here
haha damn -40

 

[sgryzko]

Its minus 40 with the windchill today. I think I'm just gonna stay inside.

mirror defroster is a grip of metal stripe under the mirror, once turn on, current will flow and it would get warmer.

but it took a good 3-5 min, to warm up in a chilly day.

i have a pair of those on my stocker acura

 

[fraay]

Well it's warmed up here (edmonton) .. its currently -30C and -43C with windchill.. so I'm going to actually go out tonight.. with any luck my drivers side window will unfreeze so I can look really ghetto with my hand out the window scrapping my mirror off with a credit card while driving down the road..

I feel your pain

 

[sgryzko]

Haha I like the credit card idea.

What the hell are you trying to say. I cant understand you.

credit card must be a good size for scrapping the side mirror, but that doesn't really bother me at all, i don't really need a side mirror because i trust my eye by turning my head better than the mirror in the winter.

agryzko? do you notice the clutch seem like harder at -30c, BTW i am from calgary.

 

[Captain KRM P5]

there have to be some universal kits out there from someone like jc whitney i'd imagine

 

[sgryzko]

yeah i'm sure there are some kits. But I dont think its worth it really. I think I'll just stick to the credit card idea or just shoulder check.

too technicial for you, huh?

 

[sgryzko]

No not very technical really. Not really even english.
