    I managed to crack the mirror glass on the drivers side of my new car.
    Plastic's OK so all I need is the glass. It's a heated outside
    mirror. That leads to my question. Is this a dealer thing that has
    the heater built in or is it something any glass shop can do?

    Take it to the dealer, should be covered under warrantry.

  3. He said "I managed to crack the mirror", which would indicate this is
    not a warranty situation.

    We do this sort of thing regularly at the dealer. I have no idea whether a
    glass company would do this.

    Its a normal piece of mirrored glass which has a heated 'pad' affixed to the
    back, the 'pad' is made from die cut adhesive foam with the heating element
    embedded. It is unlikely you could remove the foam without fracturing the
    embedded element, you could try goo gone or similar to release the adhesive.

    not unless backing one side into a post while trying to miss the other
    side is warranty.

    ;-)

    I parked it in a parking garage in one of those spaces I liked with my
    Accent because few folks tried to use it. The Elantra ia just a tad
    wider. I just tipped the mirror so it compressed a bit and shattered
    the outer end of the glass but the plastic is fine. If it wasn't
    heated I would just take it to a glass shop. odes anyone know how the
    heating bit works? I can think a separate strip heater behind the
    glass or a coating on the glass. The latter could be a problem. The
    former just takes a glass cutter and a new piece of mirror.

    If I looked it up correctly, it's like $87 for the heated mirror glass.
