has anyone done it? my brother told me that he had his c4 parked next to my fiero, and said that the mirrors are the same. i want to try.

The mirrors are ALMOST the same. I did heated mirrors in my Fiero. You might be able to use the vette mirror shells by putting the Fiero bottom gasket underneath the vette gaskets - that way most of your problems would be solved. The problem I ran into was that the vette motors are mounted 90 deg out from the Fiero motors and the adjusting pins on the glass are in the wrong positions for the Fiero motors. I had a set of manual mirror shells and I was able to transfer the vette motors and brackets into the Fiero shells

doesnt sound too dificult.

I have the heated mirrors on two of my cars. The Corvette shells didn't mount up close enough for my taste,

but the motors will mount right up inside the fiero shells, even if they are 90 degrees off. Even easier, you can just replace the Fiero glass with the heated glass. I wired it into the rear window defogger. Else, you can just put a switch on it.

so the vette mirrors fit the fiero motors?

On my vette, there just wired hot to the rear window defrost switch and ground - ground. That way the auto timer will shut them off just like the rear window defroster.

thats a good way of hooking it up. i never got to use my vette in the cold, how well do the mirror defrosters work with ice on em?

I didn't try it the other way around but if vette motors fit in Fiero housings then I would assume the Fiero motors fit the vette housings.

Mine is my winter driver, they work as good as rear window def. I went thru a car wash and they froze up with a thick coat of ice (it was like 10*) and it melted in a few minutes.

is there any kind of current draws you hafta worry about when hooking the mirrors up to the rear defroster?

Works fine on vette, way it came from factory.

These things have tiny little heating elements in there. It's not like they are glowing red hot like a toaster. The current draw is not an issue.
