Wing mirror demisting

[Cool Mart]

The first day of heavy frost and I've just realised how long it takes my wing mirrors to defrost on my S430 (W220) The nearside one seems to clear just the outside half of the mirror and the off side seems to struggle to clear anything but mist ... everything else works ok so I guess the fuses aren't a problem. Corroded connections could be causing a problem but I'm unsure how to remove the mirror glass to get a look behind ?

Any ideas ?

Pluggers gave us this HOW TO:

It applies to all models, apparently.

The post is in two parts, the second relating to removing mirror glass only.

On the later cars, you press the glass in at the bottom, you will see a long wire sprung clip running along the top edge of the glass inside. if you press down one end the spring it will come off and the glass can be lifted out of the bottom retaining lugs.
