Heated side mirrors

[Jimbo_slice]

the side & rearview heated mirrors are going bad on my 96 conti. It has the brown liquid tint thing going on. Will I have to replace the complete mirror or can I buy the glass? will something like this work? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...akeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en
has any one tried these yet?

my driver mirror is doing the same as yours. did you have any luck with your repair/replacement?

You should be able to pop that glass piece out of mirror assembly. There will be wires on the back that plug in and there should be enough wire to allow you to work a couple of inchs away from mirror. I say should because I have changed many on both american and foriegn cars but not on my lincoln, sorry hope this helps. Tilt the mirror in several directions and look with flashlight, should snap clip in or out.

On my 93 mark I popped the glass right off by holding both edges of the glass and pulling it straight out, and then taped the wires since I didn't find a heated glass only a regular one from a thunderbird, and it popped right in.

On mine, I just bought a replacement glass off of Ebay ($15 incl shipping) and put it on over the existing glass. If you look closely you can see it is not perfect, but only if you look hard. Even over the old glass, it still gets warm enough to melt off the ice.

I just check with my Liberty Mutual agent about the broken mirror on my 97 Conti and I was told they only cover safety glass. Mirrors are not covered
