When it rains, what should I do if the rearview mirror is covered by rain?

Seeing flowers in the fog may be a hazy beauty <>, but driving in the fog is too depressing and dangerous!

Heated mirrors

However, there are now many cars that are very intimate and equipped with the function of rearview mirror heating, and in the above situation, the general owner will consider using the rearview mirror heating function on the car. Most mirrors do not have a separate button, and they share the same switch as the rear window defrost.

Lifting glass However, even though the rearview mirror heating was used to dry the rainwater on the rearview mirror, the side window still had rainwater on it, and it was still difficult to see the situation in the rearview mirror from the inside of the car. We can use the method of lifting the glass, using the sealing strip to scrape off the rainwater on the glass. However, if the windows are opened, the door trims and the driver will get wet from the rain.

After using this method of lifting and lowering the glass, although the glass has water marks, the vision becomes much clearer, and you can basically see the situation in the rearview mirror through the glass. However, this method is not very durable, and we often see some drivers "up and down" the glass on the driver's side.

And there are many driver friends, and they also add window eyebrows to the windows. In this way, when driving in the rain, you can open the window a slit, which is really useful, but it will also affect the driving vision to some extent.

That... What to do at this time?

Buy a bar of soap!! ┃

Knock on the blackboard first, the principle we are going to use here is actually the hydrophilic ability of soap.

The molecular structure of soap can be divided into two parts. At one end is a charged polar coo- (hydrophilic site) and at the other end a non-polar carbon chain (lipophilic part). Soap can break the surface tension of water.

When the soap molecules enter the water, the polar hydrophilic parts will destroy the attraction between the water molecules and reduce the surface tension of the water, so that the water molecules are evenly distributed on the treated glass surface.

How does it work?

1: Before applying soap to the glass, please clean the mud and sand attached to the glass to avoid scratching the surface of the glass during the application and wiping process. A slight soak in the soap before applying it will make the soap softer and easier to apply to the glass surface.

2: After the soap is evenly applied to the entire surface of the glass, you can wait for the soap on the glass to dry. When dried, the soap is powdery and easier to wipe off.

3: If you use a towel to remove the soap, it is easy to leave fine debris. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners use high-quality paper towels or newspapers to remove the dried soap.

Then there are friends who say, it's too troublesome... There are simpler ones.

Mix dish soap with water 3:1, then moisten it with a clean rag and apply it evenly, apply it once to the tube for a week!

There are simpler ones. Bring a clean rag with the car and wipe it when the red light stops (although this will also affect safety).

There are also simpler and simpler ones, buy a high-end car, with a defogging function.

Method 1: Install a rain shield]**: Principle ranging from a few yuan to dozens of yuan:

The "rain shield", also known as the "rearview mirror rain eyebrow", is made of high-grade resin material, which can be bent arbitrarily and glued to the rearview mirror through special double-sided tape, the effect is like holding up a small umbrella on the rearview mirror. Pros and cons: If the rain falls vertically from the sky, it works well.

However, for the rain that falls obliquely, the effect is poor, which is the same as a person holding an umbrella vertically, and the rain that blows obliquely will still get people wet. [Method 2: Install a heated rearview mirror]**:

Hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan principle: through heating, so that the raindrops can not stay on the mirror surface of the rearview mirror. When the rearview mirror is heated, the small condensed water droplets are quickly evaporated.

Pros & Cons: **Higher and requires a professional to operate. However, some also come with blue mirrors (i.e., when driving at night, even if the rear headlights shine on your car's rearview mirror, it will not look dazzling and play an anti-glare function), wide-angle (using multi-curved surface technology, a large field of view, and a more realistic image), etc., which increase the function and safety of the car.

On rainy days, you can turn on the rearview mirror heating function to clear the fog, if you don't have this function, you can add a rain eyebrow!

At this time, you can turn on the heating function of the rearview mirror, and this problem will be solved.

Water repellent agent. Buy a water repellent and spray it on the surface of the rearview mirror, the ingredients in the water repellent will make the water easily detach from the rearview mirror, so as to ensure the clarity of the rearview mirror.

You can turn on the heating function of the rearview mirror, or you can use the method of lifting the glass to use the sealing strip to hang up the rainwater.

With rearview mirror heating function, open the rearview mirror heating; If the mirrors are not heated, they must be wiped clean manually or a baffle should be installed on the mirrors in advance.

What should I do if I can't see clearly in the rearview mirror if there is rain on a rainy day? It's easy and practical!

1. It is more practical to put a piece of soap in the car, before driving in rainy days, evenly apply the soap on the rearview mirror of the car, after the soap hardens, wipe it off with a towel, and the glass surface will form a stuffy layer of wax, which has good water repellency, which can effectively prevent the blurred vision caused by fogging and water droplets in the rearview mirror, in addition, it can also increase the fragrance and smell in the car.

2. The use of toothpaste is the same as soap, evenly smear the toothpaste on the rearview mirror of the car, and wipe and rinse it with a towel, which can effectively prevent the problem of fogging the rearview mirror.

3. Buy and use a special water repellent agent, the water repellent on the market is generally divided into spray type and smear type, the water repellent agent will be evenly sprayed or smeared on the rearview mirror, and a protective film will be formed on the surface of the rearview mirror, which also has good hydrophobicity, which can effectively prevent the rearview mirror from fogging or hanging water droplets, and the rearview mirror is clear to keep the rearview mirror.

4. Install a rain shield for the rearview mirror, which can block the rain and avoid the rain falling and hanging on the mirror surface of the rearview mirror, however, the rain shield cannot solve the problem of fogging the rearview mirror.

5. Installing a heating wire on the rearview mirror can increase the temperature of the mirror surface of the rearview mirror and effectively prevent fogging, however, for heavy rain, the effect is not very obvious.

6. Install a waterproof film on the rearview mirror, which has good hydrophobicity, which can effectively prevent rainwater from adhering and avoiding rain blocking the rearview vision, thereby improving the safety factor of driving in rainy days. The high-quality film has high definition, and it also has the functions of waterproof, anti-fog, dust-proof, anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, etc., which can keep the mirror clear at all times, so as to relieve the trouble of driving in rainy days.

The button for removing rain in the rearview mirror is on the air conditioning control panel, which is the same button as the rear windshield defogging. The button with a square and three airflow arrows on it is the rain removal button in the rearview mirror. Press it will heat the rearview mirror, so that the temperature of the rearview mirror surface increases, the water droplets on the rearview mirror become smaller and smaller because of the evaporation of the temperature, and the fog will slowly disappear, which plays a role in removing rainwater and effectively improves the problem of blurring the mirror surface of the rearview mirror.

The rearview mirror is very important for the driving of the vehicle, when the car is driving, not only look ahead, but also observe the driving situation of the vehicle behind the vehicle through the rearview mirror, if it is raining in the rearview mirror, the safety of the people in the car is greatly reduced. Rearview mirrors have rainwater treatment methods are:

1. By heating the rearview mirror, many vehicles have the rearview mirror heating function, when the rearview mirror has rain or fog, you can use this function, which can solve this problem very well;

2. Install a rain shield on the rearview mirror to prevent rain drops from falling on the rearview mirror;

3. Apply soap or dish soap to a wet towel to wipe the rearview mirror or apply some special water repellent agent, so that the rearview mirror has a waterproof effect and can effectively weaken the rain on the rearview mirror.

When driving in rainy weather, always control your speed and keep your distance from the vehicle in front of you. Try not to overtake, watch out for pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles on the road, and don't splash stagnant water on the road. If the rain is particularly heavy and the windshield wipers cannot clean the rainwater on the windshield in time, it is recommended that the driver should not continue driving, park the vehicle in a safe place, and wait for the rain to light up or stop before continuing to drive.

The tips for raining water in the rearview mirror are as follows: 1. Soap and toothpaste: Soap can destroy the surface tension of water.

When the soap molecules enter the water, the polar hydrophilic part will destroy the attraction between the water molecules and reduce the surface tension of the water, so that the water molecules are evenly distributed on the surface of the treated glass and attached to the glass in the form of a water film. 2. Installing rain eyebrows: It is a more common practice to install rain eyebrows on the rearview mirror, this method is convenient and cheap, and the effect is more obvious, especially suitable for car owners living in rainy areas.

3. Coating water repellent agent: coating the rearview mirror can also keep the vision of the rearview mirror clear, and there are many glass water repellent on the market The main ingredient is silicone oil, which can achieve the effect of not sticking to the surface of the rearview mirror by changing the tension of water on the glass surface.
