C172 heated mirrors

[Scudetto]

Guys, does the 172 have heated mirrors? If so, are they activated by putting the heated rear window on? None of the dew on the mirrors evaporated even long after the rear window had cleared. I wonder, what with the being a Reno, if maybe....mine are not working...

Yes do have heated mirror and I think but I may be wrong that they are activated when you hit the demist button near the climate control. Never used mine so not to sure about activation.

Scudetto I think your doing the right thing so a trip to Reno may be in order.

It works in conjunction with the heated rear window button....looks like a trip to Reno for you

When you turn the rear windows heater on the mirrors get quite warm - just stick your hand out of the windows and see!
