How to Remove Rainwater from Mercedes-Benz Mirrors?

Installation is very convenient and the price is low. It works very well in light rain, but the drawback is that some water droplets may still remain during heavy rain. Apply soap to a damp cloth, then wipe the mirror with the damp cloth. After the mirror dries, gently remove any residue with a tissue or use dishwashing liquid. This method requires the car's rearview mirror to have a heating function, which not all vehicles are equipped with. Garlic is an excellent seasoning. Crush the garlic and apply it to the rearview mirror for a good effect, but it needs to be reapplied before each rain.
When I used to drive a Mercedes, I would habitually press the rearview mirror heating button on rainy days. This button is usually located on the door armrest, marked with a rectangle icon containing wavy lines. Once pressed, the heating element activates, and it takes about two to three minutes to evaporate the water droplets. This feature is especially useful in winter, as it can quickly melt frost and snow. For daily use, it can be paired with a rain repellent spray—applied and evenly spread on the mirror surface to form a waterproof film, causing light raindrops to slide off automatically. However, remember that the heating function automatically turns off when the temperature exceeds 20°C, so you’ll need to rely on the waterproof film or manually wipe the mirror dry. Developing a habit of turning on the heating in advance is also important, especially if the weather looks bad before heading out—activating it early ensures clearer visibility while driving.
