Outbehindthebarn Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) My Superliner 1 has heated mirrors, but they are pretty ugly, glass too, but the elements are still good and work Is it possible to swap over the elements(etc) into non-heated mirrors? Found a beautiful set, but they aren't heated.. Don't have access to any to compare in my hands (I'm talking about the bulldog mirrors) Thanks Edited April 11 by Outbehindthebarn Quote Fun is what they fine you for!My name is Bob Buckman sir,. . . and I hate truckers.

Geoff Weeks Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The heated mirrors On my IHC had a heater grid that had an adhesive on the back, it was a single use, and I don't think you can peal it off the old and get it to stick to the new. That is if you could get it off in one piece. I would see if replacement grids are available. Long time ago they were for my IHC's I doubt they are still sold that way anymore, Likely have to buy the whole mirror. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74055-question-about-heated-mirrors/#findComment-549820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I have opened heated Bulldog mirror apart once or twice. Don't remember seeing any separatable heating elements. As I remember the heater was glued up to the back side of the glass or integrated another way. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74055-question-about-heated-mirrors/#findComment-549986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icehole Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I can't think of many times I've actually needed heated mirrors that a splash of methanol (windshield wash) didn't cure. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74055-question-about-heated-mirrors/#findComment-550951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 heated mirrors are nice in fog, or when you drive through different temp and moisture zones. here in New Jersey it is not strange to be driving in sunny cool, than drop into a valley where it is cloudy or foggy and moist. instant no see out of mirrors. they also work real good when someone slashes a bit of water up, the heat dries them out quickly. 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
