What to Do When the Rearview Mirror Has Water Droplets and Is Unclear on Rainy Days?

Here are the solutions for unclear rearview mirrors due to water droplets on rainy days: 1. Rain Guards + Rearview Mirror: Installing rain guards on the rearview mirror is a cost-effective solution. These guards are typically attached to the door window glass and work quite well. The installation process is very simple and can be completed in just a few minutes. However, their effectiveness is limited during heavy rain, though they perform well in light rain. 2. Soap Water, Detergent, or Shampoo + Rearview Mirror: Applying a layer of soap water on the rearview mirror works very effectively, keeping the mirror clear for 2-3 hours even in heavy rain. Shampoo and similar products yield similar results. 3. Water Repellent: Water repellents prevent water from adhering to the rearview mirror surface. There are two types of glass water repellents available on the market: those that are applied by wiping and those that are sprayed. Between the two, the wipe-on type provides more even coverage on the glass surface. When water repellent is applied to the glass, rainwater forms into small round droplets, which quickly roll off on an inclined glass surface.
