Hi Nancy!

 BM>> Did check the manual: the rear window defogger also activates the side
 BM>> mirror heating.  Sort of explains the 'randomness' of why sometimes it
 BM>> seemed like there was melting going on and why sometimes not.  LIS, my
 BM>> short trips didn't help with the correlation.
 NB>> About time you checked the manual, then... <G>  Yup, if you weren't
 NB>> trying to clear the rear window, you'd not get any clearing for the
 NB>> mirrors except by chance (or a stray wind).... and if the trip was
 NB>> too short for the rear defroster to work completely, the mirrors
 NB>> likely wouldn't, either...
 BM> About half the time my heat is just starting to get going and I'm at
 BM> my destination!
 NB> Then you have either very close destinations, or your car is very
 NB> slow to warm up....  ;)  Mine usually is up to speed within a
 NB> couple miles... :)

Everywhere I commonly drive to is within five miles of the house.
