Folding Door Mirrors
Posted: November 16th, 2016, 6:57 pm
Facing my first winter with folding door mirrors (on a used Focus), I'm worried they may freeze solid overnight and then either burn out, strip a gear, or blow a fuse when I unlock the car.
I really don't want to have to defrost the mirrors every time, so can anyone reassure me that my fears won't come true? Would I - and anyone else who drives the car - have to notice and clear any snow before unlocking?
I've googled and unlike some other models, it doesn't appear possible to disable this feature. And if I take the fuse out I would no longer have the electical adjustment to the mirrors, or the electric demisting.
