Mirrors Backordered

After debating and debating I finally pulled the trigger on some of the power 08+ towing mirrors. Well the friendly people at tasca sent me an email saying that they are backordered . He said its mainly a supply issue. There was somthing wrong with the production line as he has 8 passenger side mirrors, but only one driver side and its already claimed . So looks like the wait continues.

WOOHOO! I appearantly have heated mirrors, lol. I didnt know I did until last night after reading thread upon thread about the mirrors I started wondering if I had the mirrors. Well today I went out and clicked my rear defrost button. Rolled down the window and touched the mirror. Sure enough it was warm. So now my TT mirrors are gonna keep the heat! Sweetness.

I thought that the "rear' defrost was just the mirrors? I found no vents when I had my back seat off, and if you look at the button closely it looks like a mirror.

No I actually have reardefrost on my truck. All the lines that run across the back window is the rear defrost on our trucks. If you have the sliding rear window I think you only have heated mirrors, not both.

Ahh ok, I see. I do have the slider. Thankfully my defrost doesn't get much action in Alabama anyway!

Yeah Im in texas, lol. I never realized I had the heated glass since I never have the need for the heated mirrors, ha. But now that I have them I can turn them on and feel the warmth of the glass. Ha.
