not unless backing one side into a post while trying to miss the other
side is warranty.

I parked it in a parking garage in one of those spaces I liked with my
Accent because few folks tried to use it. The Elantra ia just a tad
wider. I just tipped the mirror so it compressed a bit and shattered
the outer end of the glass but the plastic is fine. If it wasn't
heated I would just take it to a glass shop. odes anyone know how the
heating bit works? I can think a separate strip heater behind the
glass or a coating on the glass. The latter could be a problem. The
former just takes a glass cutter and a new piece of mirror.

If I looked it up correctly, it's like $87 for the heated mirror glass.
