So I got a '23 Pete 579.
When it rains or simply sprinkles, water from the road flys up on the mirrors and the door glass. Can't see a thing. Very dangerous. Turn on blinkers in rush hour traffic, wait 3 or 4 seconds and just change lanes.
Any ideas what causes this ?
Here is pics of mirrors after driving through KC last week during rush hour. Just after rain stopped and I cleared the heavy traffic so I could take pics . No way of telling where cars were. Just blurred lights.
Dirty road water covering mirrors, glass

They spray so much of that de-icer crap on the roads every time it gets slightly damp, it gets splashed all over everything and makes an unholy mess.
They get so carried away with that de-icer spray... Sometimes I would almost rather have the ice, it’s not fun to drive on but I think of it as Mother Nature’s way of weeding out the dummies.
Tip: turn your heated mirrors on the second it starts raining. Also, get one of these mirror squeegees, one of the best truck inventions I’ve ever seen:
