Will the heated element work with my truck's factory controls?

Yes. This lens plugs directly into your Ram's existing heated mirror circuit — no modifications needed. Turn on your defroster the way you always have.

Do I need to remove the entire mirror assembly to swap the glass?

You'll need to access the back of the mirror housing to disconnect the heating element and unclip the old lens. The assembly itself typically stays mounted to the door — verify backing access on your specific cab style before starting.

What if the glass arrives damaged?

Contact ModSupply with photos of the damage and your order number within 48 hours of delivery. Replacement or return is handled at that point — don't attempt installation if the lens is cracked or the heating connector is bent.
