    There's a heating element built into the windshield to help prevent the wipers from freezing to it. It's like a rear window defroster but for the front, and only the bottom black area. You activate via the side mirror heater button and it runs for about fifteen minutes before automatically turning off.

    Too many, but not enough....
    This forum rocks, don't it? I would have never ever known about that otherwise since I'm in a hot area.

    Another feature I did not even know I had. My truck stays home most days during the winter and I don't ever remember even using the heated mirrors. Thanks!
