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

Test-fit the assembly first — most Dakota mirrors allow glass-only replacement, but mirror removal method varies by year and trim. Have the housing unbolted before committing to disassembly.

Will the heating element work with my truck's existing wiring?

Heating circuits are vehicle-specific. If your Dakota came with heated mirrors, this should wire into the existing harness. If it didn't, wiring will require a relay and switch — check your truck's electrical diagram.

What's the return window if the glass doesn't seat right?

Test fit before final installation. Once bonded or fastened, glass is typically non-returnable due to damage risk during removal.
