Been using my Rear Heated Screen and the wing mirrors weren't clearing

It took 2 hours, but I dismantled the wing mirror on the passenger side and there are NO WIRES at all!!

OK, I thought, Subaru - the cheapskates must have just heated the Drivers side ............... 2 hours later off comes the drivers side - ....

Guess what?? NO WIRES there either

Now I've got to put then all back together again!! ...... mind you, I have drilled a hole on the inside of the door leading to the mirror internals ... and put a plastic hose (the type that come off the pumps in Aquariums) from the heater vent into the mirror casing ............. works a treat!!!

Anyone want to buy the plans off me?? £19:99??

Hope you declared the modification to your insurance company

 

Get a life moron....................

At least have some of your own medcine!

 

It certainly resulted in a HEATED discussion

Pete

 

Jealous of my Heated Mirrors??

Pete

 

bloody hell, a remotely constructive post from the PisMeister

 

Pete,

If you'd brought a proper vehicle rather than one of those cheap UK imports you'd have got heated folding mirrors as standard.

 

thought you were supposed to be some kind of nuclear brain surgeon or something?

 

at least it keeps the chavs hands warm when they're nicking them.

 

thought all jap cars were imports... except nissan primeras

 

Ah the economy version,

cheapskate pete, why not rep;ace the nightlights , far cheaper.


if youve drilled holes between the mirror and the car inner you will ned to get it on a jig and get the alignment checked, as the body stiffness will now be affeected.

just thing of all that damp and condensation thats going to get in to your car now











































For sale.. one blue chav(gold wheeled) impreza, suffers from condensation and has a distorted body shell

don't you need to pre-fill the mirrors with oil before you take them apart?

 

I squirted 3 cans of WD40 in to loosen it all up!!

Pete

 

What a surprise PSL blowing hot air!

 

i have a jap spec wrx with electric folding mirrors........ which are not heated ?...i take it they are supposed to work when the hrw switch is operated?

 

Class !

 

Also Class

 

All the hallmarks of another lewis windup.......

It's a Jap thing, christ they don't give you a fog light so they're not gonna give you heated mirrors, i'm guessing they go by 'if they are behind you, then it's there reponsability to look out for you'.

 

petes new "Chargewarmer" mirror kits might sell on ebay?

RUN SUM HOT COOLANT ROUND THE PIPES PETE!!

 

So Pete's now driving a MODIFIED car...

Fecking hypocrite

 

Excellent idea!!!

I am just going to drill a hole in the expansion tank and run the hose from there ..... would I need some form of one way valve?

Pete

 

Honda civics are made in Swindon

 

dont think so, maybe add sum nice coloured coolant and have the pipes on show so you can see it swirling around when you drive

 

I keep getting bird ****e on my car and then I noticed when the glass was frozen up on these cold days, this didn't happen.
It turns up they were flying down to admire themselves in the WING mirrors. boom, boom.

 

 

I thought, as I rarely use the rear washer, that I would use that pipe and container/pump.

I have taken all the rear trim out and cannot find the rear wash bottle!!

Come to think about it ................... I can't remember ever filling it up!!

Where is it???????????

Pete

 

It's possible to buy heated pads for car seats, so I dunno why it wouldn't be possible to make a heated mirror doofer.

Shouldn't take too much current either as you'd want it warm, not toasty.

OTOH you could just stuff a pair of mittens over them

J.

 

That would make you look like those ****** on motorbikes with stupid fluffy fooookin ears stuck on their helmets!!
