Space is a problem. The glass is glued to a thin frame which clips onto
the motor assembly. There is some space in the centre of the mirror, but
some form of thin heating mat as original would be best.

Then use the 240 Volt radiator element and some fibreglass tubing and make up a 12 volt heater that way.

Unless a wrecker has these your chances look pretty slim. I doubt that cutting down the RS Components pads will work.

Hi...

Just a thought, but how's about straightening out as best you
can a piece of nichrome from an old toaster and zig zag an appropriate
length behind the mirror?

Take care.

Ken
