A properly designed switch should not melt from being left on.

Don't know about it hurting the mirrors.

But, *using* a switch like this is better for it - each actuation helps
keep it clean.

If you've left it "on" because you're having trouble getting it to stay
in, I think that's better than not having the defroster when you need it.

But try to fix (or replace) the switch sometime.  You are at the very
least using extra gas to make the 'lectricity to warm the rear window
and mirrors.
