Heated mirrors, with their own hands
I have, I know that's such a device. Nissan Vanet, me and my wife called Vanka.
All of this compact car is good, but in Merce I have heated mirrors, and Vanka-no.
I figured as something that ought to be done. But in Belarus via the Internet did not find heaters. Well, I do not like fumbling by markets, the life of me. I'm sick of them.
2. I fumbled for the bins of Motherland and found items containing Nichrome wire necessary for the realization of my plans. This is similar to the resistor.
3. Well and raced!
Remove the mirror from the car and took out a piece of glass from a plastic frame, it should look something like this.
When removing and installing mirrors in plastic box, heat the plastic industry, or even household hairdryer. In order not to break the glass and plastic.
4. Remove the old Scotch. We need to do it carefully so as not to damage the amalgam, or instead of a mirror to give a clear piece of glass. It turned out this way.
5. Take the double-sided tape, no foam. Here's a he at our kiosks Belposhta sold.
6. paste it on the cleaned surface.
7. Remove the protective film of the second layer of adhesive tape.
8. Puts nichrome wire on the adhesive layer, closer windings, the stronger the heated mirror in this place. The resistance of 8.5 Ohm coil consumption of 1.5 amps, this is about the unit was a Sino-numeric, with a narrow screen. Thick wire can not be taken should be 0.2- 0.4 mm. I have here and the parallel connection, whereby the resistance falls and thus heats the whole crap stronger.
9. sealed with a second layer of tape.
10. Prepare the frame to gluing the mirror.
11. Again, remove the protective film.
12. Insert a piece of glass in a frame.
13. That's on the back side.
14. Fill the contact adhesive Chinese
