This must have been commented on before? But I can't find anything...
This is the only car I've had with this problem.
In wet weather, at motorway speeds, water collects at the bottom outer edge of the mirror surround and gets picked up in the air flow and spattered over the glass.
When there's salt on the roads, this rapidly fogs up the glass, meaning stopping every ten miles or so to clean this off. Even without the salt this covers the glass in rain drops and makes the mirrors difficult to use, especially in heavy rain.
I've tried with the glass heater off and heater on. With the heater on the salt spray gets baked on and makes the mirrors opaque.
I've asked my local dealer, who sympathises, but there's no update either available now or in the works to their knowledge.
I was thinking about a piece of plastic with double sided waterproof tape, shaped to guide the water to a point at the very outer edge of the plastic surround, where the airflow might take it away?
Any thoughts? Anyone found a fix?
