    Normally the snow here is dry enough that I can just blow it off my truck.

    But sometimes, in fall or spring, it gets wet and freezes... and creates a sheet of ice on your mirrors.

    Scrapping mirrors scratches the shit out of them (don't ask me how I know). Having a heating element would literally melt the ice away.

    My subaru had heated mirrors and they were beautiful.

    ahhhhh...and that's why. i don't think it dropped below 30 this whole winter here... i've scraped tiny layers of ice off the windshield before but that's about it.
