so im driving along i check my mirrors and through the frost on my passenger side mirror i see it a hair line crack straight across my mirror i was wondering if my mirror defroster could have caused it anyone else had this problem i ve had more ice than what there was that day before and no problems

 

It's possible, sure. Could be a malfunctioning heater element too.

A friend of mine from the Neon boards (used to own a Neon, I know...) had her rear defroster malfunction and got her rear window too hot somehow. Shattered the whole rear window.

 

dang i thought the mirror would be tempered different to handle the heat is that a one piece deal or is the element seperate

 

Now that I don't know. I would imagine the whole mirror would be one piece you can order from LMC or anywhere though.

 

or junk yard... cheap cheap...

 

yeah sometimes you get junk at junk yards my time is limited so i would only want to do the job once i guess its something i need to look into

 

I just bought one a couple of weeks ago because of a careless driver that took mine off while parked from usautoparts.net for less than 40 with shipping, I searched and some places wanted more or almost the same for an used one so I just went with the new one

 

mine is also cracked like you described. It has been since i bought it. I have a replacement but i figured ill just live with the crack cause i know one of these days im gonna clip it with a tree offroad. lol

 

got a bunch of stuff at the junk yard for $20, door skin, rollup cover for jack, misc plastics including a heated mirror, takes maybe 20 mins to install it

 

yea even if a whacked it off with a tree or broke it slingin mud i would still have to replace it when i off road i turn my mirrors in so i dont whack them and i dont do much trail rides just some pasture rides ditchlines and so dont spend to much time in the woods
