Methods to prevent rearview mirrors from getting wet in rainy weather mainly include: 1. Dishwashing Liquid: First, choose a soft dry cloth and clean the rearview mirror. Pour a small amount of dishwashing liquid or shower gel directly onto the cloth, then wipe every corner of the rearview mirror to ensure full coverage. Remember not to use water, and continue wiping until no traces of the dishwashing liquid are visible on the mirror. 3. Applying Water Repellent: There are two types—wipe-on and spray-on. Apply directly to the rearview mirror to allow rainwater to slide off naturally, maintaining clear visibility. 4. Soap or Candle: Apply evenly to the rearview mirror, then wipe clean with a soft cloth. However, this method doesn’t last very long. 5. Installing Heated Rearview Mirrors: Some car models offer the option to install heated rearview mirrors. When activated on rainy days, this feature can dry off moisture, keeping the mirrors free of water droplets that obstruct vision. This method is the safest and most convenient, but it is also the most expensive.
