Methods to deal with foggy car rearview mirrors are: 1. Turn on the heating system of the car rearview mirror; 2. Switch the car air conditioning to the external circulation mode. Car rearview mirrors are located on both sides of the front of the car and inside the front of the car. Methods to prevent rearview mirrors from fogging up are: 1. Clean dust and sand from the glass and apply soapy water to the glass surface; 2. Install rain guards on the rearview mirrors; 3. Apply wax to the rearview mirrors. The functions of car rearview mirrors are: 1. Observe the road conditions behind; 2. Observe passengers in the back seat; 3. Judge the distance from the rear vehicle when braking suddenly; 4. Expand the driver's field of vision.
I've been driving for over a decade and foggy rearview mirrors are quite common, usually occurring during rainy days or in winter when there's a significant temperature difference. Last time on the highway during rain, the mirror was completely fogged up. I first wiped it with a dry cloth a few times, but it only provided temporary relief. Later, I found that the most effective solution is to spray anti-fog agent in advance—available on the market—which forms a film that prevents moisture from condensing. During regular maintenance, I clean the mirror surface with a soft cloth to keep it smooth and reduce the likelihood of fogging. If fog suddenly appears while driving, immediately turn on the air conditioning's defogging function, adjust the airflow toward the rearview mirror, or open the window to balance the interior and exterior temperatures. The main cause of fogging is the condensation of humid air on the cold mirror surface, so regular ventilation and avoiding excessive humidity inside the car are key. These methods ensure clear visibility while driving and reduce safety risks.
