Why Do My Mirrors Fog Up and Freeze?
In order to stop your mirrors from fogging and/or freezing, you need to understand why it happens in the first place. The air is full of water vapour; this vapour turns to liquid as it hits the glass of your mirror and then sticks to it. The water molecules also stick to one another. When the temperature drops below zero Celsius, the stuck water will freeze on the surface of the glass.
To keep the mirrors from collecting this water, you need to make their surface less sticky, and take advantage of how the water molecules stick together. To keep the water from turning to ice, you need to make sure the mirror's surface doesn't get too cold.
Keeping the Mirrors Warm
Applying de-icer to your mirrors can be a temporary solution to the glass freezing over, and applying wax should prevent water gathering and freeze in the first place, but the only sure solution to ice on the glass is to invest in heated mirrors. Such mirrors have a heated element behind the glass that can be switched on when needed from inside the car.
Buying heated mirrors that are suitable for your model of car, and having them fitted can be quite an expensive and cumbersome measure; if you are especially determined to have a car with heated mirrors, it would be wise to make sure your car has this feature before you buy it.
Uhmm, Vân biết "heated mirrors" có cho kiếng đàng sau , nhưng không biết có cho windshield đằng trước không nữa à nhen ?? nếu có , thì .... xe nào cũng nên có .. interesting là windshield cần hơn kiếng đàng sau để lái xe , nhưng kiếng đàng sau thì lại có heated , trong khi windshield thì lại không có heated
