Heated Mirrors

[stig 69]

Am I right in thinking that my Chimaera should have heated mirrors, if so where's the switch?

Its automatic and works for the first few mins when you start the engine.

On my car this is why the glue holding the mirror glass to the mirror gets warm and the glass then gets loose. So I have to press it back in to place.

Final fix for this (for me) will be to glue glass on with something less heat sensative.

In my instruction manual it says they will work until the doors are opened again.. Ideal 4 me when I get out of the car to shut the garage door behind me.

Er, on the Griffith they come on automatically when you switch the heater blower either on or off, they then stay on for about 10 mins. If you have the heated seats switching these on/off also has the same effect. R...

philr - i had the same problem with the glass becomming loose on mine !! - i fixed it with good old fashioned superglue !! - no problems since !!

Yep, superglue is an option, but I was thinking of this liquid steel stuff I have. Thats what I ended up having to mend my mirror with when some nice person snapped it off.
Also I have a couple of bits of trim that have been glued on before and came loose. I reckon that if I use this Liquid Steel on them as well then they will NEVER come off !

The glass fell out of my passenger mirror last April, and I stuck it back in with 3 - or 4 - double sided sticky pads from Sellotape. Car sits outside so has been in all weather and it hasn't budged since.
The glass that is not the whole mirror itself, which still moves, well, as good as they ever do!
