    X2, this works. We do this on goggle lens for snowmobiling in cold weather. Very effective.

    If I got to scrape the mirrors, I got to scrape the whole truck. No such thing as heated side, rear glass and mirror option.

    I won't be buying a heated side view mirror optioned truck. Just not worth it to me.

    I bought a thing called Frostblocker from Costco. It has a windshield cover with elastic straps that hook on the mirrors and two mirror covers. For $16.99 it works great.

    Most problems can be solved with enough WD-40 and Duck tape, so I always have plenty on hand.

    For those who are using a windshield & mirror covers, which one's are you using? Some reviews say the Frostblocker runs a tad small....
