| Rearview Mirror problems |
Heated mirrors: the mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This feature is activated whenever you turn on the rear window defroster. Using this feature during morning warm-up I was surprised to find the drivers side mirror with a top to bottom vertical crack down the mirror after a brief 15 minute warm-up period. This occurred in my driveway in an open area at a temperature of around 26 degree f. Faulty part or non-tempered glass used?.
