Yup, little 1/4" rectangle (kinda like a tv screen), and 3 vertical wavy lines.

Yup, my '99 has the defrost symbol on the lower, inside corner of the mirror.

yup that and the connector has 6 wires instead of 4. but the only way to tell from the outside is the defrost symbol.
Did you find a couple? I still need one for the drivers side. Then my Mirror upgrade will be complete.

Yup. Just swap 'em out, no additional wiring necessary (as long as you have a factory rear window defrost).

Hey fellas,
anyone have any advice on how to mount these? Some a$*hole clipped mine last night while parked in the street. The local salvage lots have several for right around $50.
TIA,
Shawn

They attach from the inside of the door window frame in the corner. You must remove in interior door trim panel to access the fasteners.shawnmahmud said:

I've gotten both mine of EBAY, for less than 60 bucks for both, just keep looking, both mine are power and heated. i will say this is not the fastest way of finding them though, i probably took me about 8 months from when i found the first one till i found the other side.

I paid $180 for a used set off of ebay before I realized that the dealer sells them for the same price brand new. They don't show up on there often, good luck............:thumbup:

I found mine at the wreaking yard on a rolled 98 country. You would have thought the mirrors would have been a gonner, but they made it. I can't tell you what I paid for them though I got the whole leather/wood grain interor along with them for 200 clams

Rather than start a new thread, I'll drag this one up. My 97 SE has the rear defrost, but non heated outside mirrors. I just picked up a 98 Sport with heated mirrors.
From what you are saying, it's a direct swap to put the heated mirrors on my 97? No extra wiring?
And if so, how's the easiest way to remove them?

Cool this rocks. Some follow up questions would be what glue can you use to glue the mirror back to the backing plate? Normally I would use epoxy, but I don't know if it will hold up to the heat. Also, is removal to remove the door panel, and the small sail panel on the corner of the door? Lastly, where is the plug to unplug the wiring?

Remove the door panel and the small triangular trim piece to access the torx bolts. Once you have the door panel off, you'll see the plug.
