5 ways to make the rearview mirror more clear

The installation of the visor is more economical and useful, and the rearview mirror with the heating function is good but the cost is high

Recently, after rain in Beijing, the rear-view mirrors are often blurred by rain, and they can only see a rough outline of the rear car. They can't tell the distance, and they can't even judge the rear conditions. Bring great difficulties, but also caused a certain degree of security risks. To this end, Pan Xudong, the technical director of the No. 3 Plant of the Beijing Automobile Repair Company, and Jiao Yang, the customer service manager of the Beijing Senhua Toyota, introduced to the owner several ways to improve the view of the rearview mirror in the rain for your reference.

1. Install rain shield

More economical

The visor is generally divided into two types, one is stuck above the rearview mirror and the other is inserted in the gap between the rearview mirror and the frame. Pan Xudong suggested that we should choose the former one because it is not only very simple to install, but if you want to remove it, you can simply remove it and then do some de-gluing. If it is a kind of visor after installation, it is not easy to judge the thickness of the visor before unpacking.

Sometimes the escaping rainshield is too thick. When it is inserted into the rearview mirror, it will hinder the rotation of the rearview mirror. The price of the visor is generally 20-50 yuan, which is more economical.

Comments: When the rain is not heavy, the visor is still very useful, but in the rain, the role of the visor will weaken, but at least one-third of the rearview mirror is clear.

2. With heating function mirror

Good effect, high cost

The rearview mirror is modified or replaced with a rearview mirror with a heating function, this method is also more effective, but the cost is relatively high. Rearview mirrors in some high-profile cars have a heating function that evaporates water vapor.

Some models of the rear-view mirror can be directly replaced, such as Polaris, its high equipped with rearview mirror with heating function, while the standard car is not, therefore, Bora car can directly choose this heated rearview mirror, car The lines are reserved in advance, without any changes, but the cost is relatively high, about 3,000 yuan.

If you can't choose the equipment, you can modify it yourself and add a thick electric heating wire in the rearview mirror. This modification usually needs to change some of the original lines in the car. However, this modification does not apply to all cars. Because the heating wire needs to be heated, if the motor gear in the rearview mirror is plastic instead of iron, this modification cannot be made. Moreover, some low-displacement vehicles, such as Xiali, are not suitable for this kind of modification because the sum of the power of the two rearview mirror heating wires corresponds to the power of a rear window defroster. After a low-displacement vehicle is installed, it will cause the car to be underpowered.

3. Water repellent

The effect is not uniform

Some water repellent can be purchased on the market, which has the effect of keeping water on the surface of the rearview mirror. Some products cost about RMB 50 per bottle. However, from the actual use of the situation, the general water-repellent effect is not very significant. Jiao Yang introduced that he had used an imported "anti-fog agent for rainy enemies". The effect was very good. It could last for one month after being wiped, and the greater the rain, the clearer the mirror. However, the price of this water repellent is relatively expensive, requiring approximately 800 yuan per bottle.

4. The mirror wipes the cleansing spirit

General effect

There is a temporary method that is to play some car wax on the mirror surface, or to wipe some washing spirits, soapy water and the like, to maintain the effect of one or two days. However, light rain is still very easy to absorb on the mirror surface, and it is relatively good in heavy rain.

5. Replace the large field of view interior rearview mirror

Good effect

For rear-window vehicles with wipers and large rear window areas, the rearview mirror can be replaced with a large-angle rearview mirror, which is also very useful.
