I said it was a dumb thing, admittedly, but there are straws that break the back, esp when the vehicle becomes the ship of Theseus
When is it time to say goodbye?

I used to think they were heater elements, they're actually radio antennas. I will say though that the heated mirrors tend to go on these cars, I need to try to clean the connections on my drivers side mirror to try to revive it.

is it both seats or just one? if its both front seats then its probably a fuse.
When we got ours in 2017, the heated mirrors didn't work. I mentioned it to the various shops that serviced it for years who all told me they were fine and only activated when the control unit determined it should. I eventually got my own GAP tool and lo and behold, there were codes for the heating elements having an open circuit. New mirrors and it's working like a charm, but my faith in repair shops has really taken a hit, even the supposedly reputable independent shops.

I wonder if the RRS seats would bolt in. You could upgrade to ventilated seats.

Yeah they normally are automatic and I don’t even think you can see the faults unless you have good scanner. But yeah, the reason I know is because of the gap tool, and then I experience it when I go skiing.
