I did find those strings in my original search but felt the suggestions failed to find a solution. A pink hair dryer will not cut it. I have had the problem more than a dozen times and have forced it that many. It has always worked after and I wondered if there was an internal clutch that could be adjusted. Sounds like a hated trip to the dealer. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Have you tried silicone spray. Let your mirrors thaw and dry out and then liberally spray silicone all around the part where it pivots and back behind the glass.
Silicone disperses water and is a good lubricant and makes it more difficult for the ice to adhere once frozen. This also works for your door locks, door gaskets or anything else where you can spray and frozen water is a problem.
I remember it was the only way to keep a distributor cap from fouling up on an old jeep. Everytime it would rain heavy or I would take it out in the mud or through water, it would start missing. Silicone spray under the cap solved that problem.
