What to Do When the Rearview Mirror Gets Wet After Rain?

[LaSilas]

In rainy weather, water droplets adhere to the exterior rearview mirrors and side windows, making it difficult for drivers to see the vehicles behind them, thereby significantly increasing the likelihood of traffic accidents. Electrically heated rearview mirrors use high temperatures to evaporate the water droplets on the mirror surface, clearing the view through the rearview mirror, but their performance in actual use is not ideal. Here is additional information: Electrically Heated Rearview Mirrors: For a driver to see the situation in the rearview mirror during rain, their line of sight must pass through the side window glass, the rainwater on the side window, and the rainwater on the rearview mirror. With multiple layers obstructing the view, it is nearly impossible to clearly see objects in the rearview mirror. In such situations, to remove rainwater from the side window glass, one can use the method of raising and lowering the window to scrape off the rainwater with the sealing rubber strip. However, opening the window will result in the door panel and the driver getting wet from the rain.
