Heated Wing Mirrors & Front Window

[RSi Dave]

Is it possible on a mk1?

i know corsa gsi had heated mirrors, anyone done such a thing?

same goes for heated front screens?

dave :rasp:

 

[Da]

heated front screens are patented to ford iirc mate? but as you say the heated mirror thing could be attempted.

 

[RSi Dave]

Can get them for novas!

 

[Da]

get what?

 

[RSi Dave]

heated window

If your mirrors are electric they will be heated.



Mat.

 

[RSi Dave]

really? lol, didnt know that

 

[Matbrown]

They come on with your rear screen.



Mat.

 

[RSi Dave]

on mk1's aswell?

 

[Da]

so you can get nova heated screens? How does this help with the Clio?
As i remember it the first fords to have heated front screens were the Mk3/4 Escorts. Ford then realised they'd plugged a hole in the market and patented it at some point. Nova's may well have the heated front screen but i'm sure that at the present day only ford are allowed to fit them to their vehicles. maybe the Novas were done before ford got the patent??

 

[RSi Dave]

lol, was just saying that its an after market thing with nova's...

just wondering if there is something simiar with the clio

you really dont like me do you

 

[Da]

It's not that i don't like you, i don't know you in the slightest. Maybe it's just your attitude when someone offers advice which is, to the best of their knowledge, correct. But hey ho, life goes on...

 

[RSi Dave]

hmm, hardly. ive always been accomodating on getting new information especially on a car i know nothing about.. ive only ever known vauxhalls so going french is strange for me. hence why im asking..

sorry if ive offended anyone, not what was aiming for

 

[Matbrown]

on mk1's aswell?

Yep.



Mat.

 

[Guy]

do 182's have heated wing mirrors? :S

 

[Matbrown]

Almost definately.
Will be the same, comes on with rear screen.



Mat.

 

[Slugger]

For definate, MKII 172s, 182s and V6 have heated wing mirrors, they've even got them in the 172cup...and thats supposed to be 'hardcore'!!!

They are linked to the heated rear windscreen switch, press that and the mirrors heat up too.

They can also be got for 205's

Can't believe I didn't know this already... I've been driving round for the last seven months with my wing mirrors all rain covered, cursing cos my old BMW used to have [permanently] heated mirrors....

Next you'll tell me if you hold the central locking button on the dash down for approx 5 secs the car will lock the doors when you drive off!!!

I'm not falling for that one!

you can buy heated windscreens for most car's that are used in rally and clubman type events , nova, corsa. 205 etc they are expensive though.
ford dont have a patent on a heated front screen as you can buy new vauxhalls with them as an option
