Defrosting Time/Performance Concern



The electrochromatic (auto-dimming) outside rearview mirror used on the driver's side of many GM vehicles is slower to defrost than the passenger



side outside rearview mirror.



This is a normal condition. The glass on the driver's side electrochromatic mirror is twice as thick as the traditional glass on the passenger side



mirror. The heating elements for the mirrors on both sides draw the same wattage, therefore the driver's side mirror will take approximately twice as



long to defrost as the passenger mirror (approximately four minutes versus two minutes). Should a customer indicate that the driver's side heated



mirror is not functioning correctly, verify it's function based upon this information prior to replacing the mirror.
