Are those prices for 2011 regular mirrors or the power mirrors? Those prices seem too low for the power mirrors...more like the standard mirrors (similar to my 2010 mirrors). The person that mentioned the $160 ish price seems to more in line with what I would expect
I've asked my dealer about fitting the 2011 power/heated mirrors and he is also looking into them. I am heading down there next week for some other work and would love to be able to drive out of there with with my new 5.13's and heated mirrors! This winter had been brutal here in MA.

I have not been in a really heavy rain, but I have washed the jeep a few times, and been in some light rain a few times and have not had a problem with the mirrors collecting water.

power / heated mirrors on a Jeep.........and we wonder why the Jeep wave is dying AMEN!! Its seems more and more, year after year, the wranglers pussification(G.Carlin RIP) keeps turning this this rig into an SUV. Some people just need to man up and buy an ice scraper. I guess they dont want to mess up their manacure.

And to those of you that say...."hey, cars have been made for a bazillion years without heated mirrors...if we didn't need them back then, why do we need them now"....all I got to say is..."seatbelts weren't always available either yet I bet you don't get into your Jeep and drive without it buckled"

Trying to scrape mirrors in 0 degree temps....you'll end up with broken mirrors. That's why I feel heated mirrors should be a safety featured required by law!

I never buckle up! I think more and more this world is turning into a bunch of women, for example let's take the NFL no hard hit rule and no hitting the QB! For god sake I have seen harder hits in the lingerie football league and those girls are wearing panties and braes. To all you girls complaining about heated mirrors, put on your big girl panties and let's go wheelen!

Here is a perfect example of why I need heated mirrors! If I try and scrape this 1" thick ice off my mirror, I would more than likely crack the mirror. Think I need to start carrying some de-icer stuff!
