You can use the rearview mirror heating function to remove rainwater. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Mercedes-Benz: Mercedes-Benz is a world-renowned luxury car brand. In January 1886, Karl Benz invented the world's first three-wheeled car and obtained a patent, earning him the title of 'the inventor of the automobile.' 2. Rearview Mirror: The rearview mirror is a tool that allows the driver to directly obtain external information about the rear, side, and lower parts of the car while seated in the driver's seat. For the convenience of the driver and to prevent traffic safety accidents and ensure personal safety, all countries require that cars must be equipped with rearview mirrors, and all rearview mirrors must be adjustable in direction.

I've encountered the issue of water accumulation in Mercedes rearview mirrors several times. When washing the car or during rainy days, water can collect beneath the mirror surface or in small internal holes, creating a blurry and particularly annoying effect. The usual cause is clogged drainage holes in Mercedes mirrors due to dust or leaves. I recommend first gently wiping the mirror surface with a soft cloth or towel to allow water to flow away. If water remains, carefully use a fine needle or pin to clear the small drainage holes along the mirror frame edge. Mercedes' design is quite clever, but these tiny holes are prone to clogging. Avoid using forceful tools to prevent scratching the mirror or damaging internal circuits. If this doesn't work, water may have seeped inside affecting anti-glare function or heating systems - then professional repair is needed, as driving with impaired vision is dangerous. For regular maintenance, periodically clean the mirror area with a soft brush to prevent recurring water accumulation.
