Heated mirror glass replacement

[White4runner]

My passenger side glass is cracked and it's heated. Is the heating element in the glass or in the backplate? Obviously, it's a lot cheaper to just get new glass rather than with the backplate. Appreciate your assistance.

Wires - How to Dismantle

Hi,

I know this is an old thread -- but seeking a little help. I managed to break the side Mirror on my 2006 Sport 4Runner. It's just the glass and I figured I could replace it myself. But now that I took a look at the glass, it seems that the wire leads are crimped on.

I bought a Burco mirror replacement that was supposed to fit. However it doesn't -- due to the wire terminals. Can Someone give me a little beta?

I replaced mine literally weeks ago. I have heated as well. The heating element just pulls off(carefully of course) and then just reattach it to the new glass. Hope this helps.

Oh cool, I didn't think of that while taking the glass off mine to attempt a fix. The backing for the heated element seems to be this strange sticky pad that resembles a hug 3M command strip.

Do you have any pictures of the assembly?

Hi,

How did you scratch up the plastic backing on the heating element?

Here is what I have going on with my mirror. The wires are soldered to a heating pad like thing that seems to be sponge like.

Thoughts anyone?
