Possibly. You would have to check to see how good the continuity to ground is for the door.

Fan speed to 3 or 4, recirc air, direction selector all the way to the lower right (windshield), heat set to full blast, dash vents open and pointed to the triangle windows... and the mirrors clear up just as fast as any of the cars with heated mirrors I've had before (Golf III, Scirocco II, BMW 2 series).
Enough ice that neither this, nor some de-icer spray can deal with, heated mirrors are a lost cause as well, because they're very low powered. |

I understand now...thank you. By the way my mirrors do pop off like the ones in the link you provided above but are not glued in place. They snap into the frame with a little sticky putty in back of them. I will be posting a video of my install if anyone is interested. |

Shit.... for that matter if you blast the rear window long enough with the air from the vents above the radio you don't need it as well. |

After the snow was half gone from the heated mirror I shut it down as my neighbors may start to get a little concerned about me watching me video taping my mirrors in 14 degree weather. |

Here ya go...it's a little hard to follow at times....just hit pause when you are at one of the spots in the video. Good luck with your install.
