Will the cover come off of the back of this mirror so I can put my cover on?And what is the diff. between heated and non heated mirrors?

I exactly that just replaced the cover and not the mirror. As for heated and non heated the difference is the plugs.
1865450
Yes the cover comes off and you can use your painted cover. and heated mirrors have heat strips and a different wire harness. find out witch one you have, because the plugs are different, i had to splice my plug to my new mirror cause i orded the wrong one.

Some Nissan models have heated mirrors and some not. My 2006 Altima side mirror is not heated. A heated mirror has added electric connections and a switch in the car to turn on the "heater" in the mirror (I have that type on our 2004 Volvo Wagon). Do not know if the cover comes off. It was easy to put on and had an extra "connector" plug that worked nicely.

The cover pops on and off easily enough. The heat-mirror version has a different wiring harness.

Is the adhesive removable once installed? What if you want to dismount the mirror at some point ?

Depends upon the size of your mirror. It might hang off a little bit, plus it might not contour to the shape of the mirror back. I'm not sure if it will stick depending upon the material of the mirror back, the weather conditions that might affect your car, etc.

There optional, what ever the car came with is what's required...both heated and not heated mirror of the same year car will fit..although the heated mirror has an extra wire that the non heated dont

It should as long as the make model and year of your car matches. Your current mirror should also currently be a heated.

Sorry about last answer. I was thinking about another mirror I had purchased. For this one, I just use batteries and remove them when not traveling.

They are not easy to remove. I don't have heated mirrors, so not sure how they would affect those.

If you have the auto-dimming rearview, there is a black "box" where the mirror mounts to the windshield. Basically, it just means the "U" they cut out for the mirror is big enough to accommodate that. If you had a "regular mirror" it won't affect the installation of this shade at all.

It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin. I mounted mine over the mirror in my MDX. It popped off and the very thin, very dark mirror shattered. I it infield Amazon and was told that I had to deal with the seller who is in Asia. I had to pay $29 to mail this defective item to Asia. The post office cannot track packages overseas. It apparently never arrived so I lost the $169 I paid for the item, plus the $29 for mailing. Amazon would not back me up in any way, even though I have been an Amazon Prime member for years. Apparently you are not buying the item from Amazon, but from some random vendor in Asia. Save your money. It is supposed to snap over your existing mirror, but your mirror had better be very thin.

Although you should be able to apply it to the surface of the existing mirror, it will make a better seal within the rim of the mirror frame if you extract the old mirror first. Also note that this isn't the heated mirror mount, so if the Passat has that feature, then you really should buy that replacement part. If it's not a feature you use much, then just remove the mirror and apply.

No but your regular mirror underneath will do that since this basically just fits over your existing mirror. By the way, I love it and you can see so much better. I plan to buy another.

The Putco 400402 is a chrome-like plastic cover that snaps over the existing black cover on your mirror. It does not include any type of glass or mirror or reflector itself. You would still have the same operable mirror that is on your vehicle now, except it will look like a chrome mirror.

No, they aren't heated. You're correct that the stock mirrors don't have that feature either. We've had the mirrors on for a few months now, and absolutely love them. Dealership wanted to charge over $350.00 to replace with the stock mirror. That was only one side!!!! I bought both sides to match, and paid less than half of that. I installed them myself in less than an half an hour. Highly recommend.

The vehicle I installed then on (96 GMC k2500 suburban) didn't have factory heated side mirrors so the replacements I purchased only are power. There are versions of this type mirror that has power/heat and a marker light.

These are not Power Folding Mirrors, just the rotating heated mirror. I have not seen/heard of the Power Folding Mirror?Glad I could help.Bruce

Steph , yes the heat shield can be usedto close off the engine compartment from the inner fender. This makes the most sense if something hot is close by like the exhaust etc. The only negative is that the shielding may be visible from outside the car as it is shiny. Missing inner fender seals and liners can be bought from the auto dealers and auto recyclers and being black and a direct replacement will not be noticeable.

If u are looking for the heated version this is not the right mirror for you.
