If it has heated mirrors they should come on with the heated rear screen,
I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)
Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed0 -

Usually they come on with the rear screen. If they don't then either they are faulty, or you don't have them!0 -
Exactly what car is it, and what trim level (e.g LS, GL, CD etc)?? Are the door mirrors adjusted manually with a lever, or electrically with some sort of rocker switch arrangement??"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

When you are doing your first parade in the morning (checking lights, oil etc) give them a wipe on the way past................;)
But I must say heated mirrors are nice.0 -
If you havent got eleccy door mirror and want to fit them (will be heated to) I know of a straight forward 'How to' I found on a Astra owners club website that I used to fit eleccy mirrors on my Astra
If your interested let me know and I'll see if I can find it
P.S Mine is a 2001 SRi and it only had manaul door mirror, and the SRi is quite high up the spec list0 -
