Defrost mirror

[2002yellowpro5]

Does any one know how hard it would be to put a defrost mirror on a 2002 pro5. some one pulled my mirror off so i have to replace it any ways and theres one local. i was thinking that i could just T-tap in to the rear defrost wires to run the mirrow with it also, is this doable

there's defrostable outside mirrors for the Pro5?

Not that I'm aware of, but it probably could be done. I remember reading how most cars either come with power mirrors, or heated mirrors but never both. Well, my brother's GLI Jetta certainly has both so I don't see why our P5 couldn't too ..

If someone does this mod I would be greatful to them forever, I would love to have this done to my P5!!

Here's an alternative suggestion.... coat the mirror in Rain-X or similar water-repellant. This is a great trick. B/c water won't stick to it, instead of a thick fogging/frosting over, it'll bead up and you can see. Or if the problem is ice/snow etc, once again, it won't stick - so if any even will form on it (less likely b/c its a vertical surface) it'll just slide/fall right off w/ a good whack.

I haven't tried this yet on my p5 since it hasn't become an issue yet, but used to do it all the time when we lived in the mountains.
