I have a 99 SLT, 5.2, 256K and still getting 14.3 mpg, with heated mirrors that are cracked.

I read the following post:

And I can't tell if his mirrors were heated after replacing the glass or not.

Is the heating element part of the glass or separate? Or can I just replace with a suitably sized mirror replacement and end up with heated mirrors.

 

The heating element is part of the glass ... Rockauto is the cheapest i found @ $23 bucks per side..

Note: the 6x9 Dumbo style mirrors where the only ones that come standard OEM with heat, They also make a non-heated Dumbo as i have learned. If you have anything else you would have to go aftermarket to get the heat added.. AFAIK there are no aftermarket glass pieces for the 5x 7 sport mirrors.

 

That works. Never used RockAuto.

 

Have had nothing but excellent service from them.

 

does anyone know if you got a Durango with the 5x7 mirrors if the wiring is in place for the heating element? I would just get a set of the dumbo mirrors with heat to change them to if the wiring is there as I like the bigger mirrors when towing

EDIT: My apologies I found the answer in a different thread when doing a re-phrased search... And to put the answer in this thread the answer is yes as long as you have the rear defroster.

 

That's only half true... the 98's DID NOT have the wiring as the heated mirrors where not offered till 99..
