    Since you’re pulling a hopper its probably partially due to dust from the product your loading building up in the mirror cavity.
    You could also put on the wind deflectors around your window frame to divert airflow.

    They make those stainless air deflecter wings that mount on the top mirror bracket and channel the air to the glass to keep it cleaner.
    But with those funky aero mirrors on that truck,not sure they would mount up.

    Listen here you little cry baby lil boy find your pacifier and suck on it cause GROWN folks are on here. I have socks older than you and I'm pretty sure my dog could solve this problem without having to ask in a social media site. If you had kept your mouth shut then we wouldn't know how stupid you really are but you posted so you made it OBVILOUS. I have backed up more miles than you will EVER go forward.
    Oh ya Merry Christmas!

    Can’t blame the Peterbilt either. I’ve driven many many miles in a Peterbilt and it’s just a fact of winter driving there will be road slop on the mirrors. I’ll guarantee if you drive a Crapcadia it would be doing the same thing. Maybe the mirror would even fall off in the process

    Another little childish boy lashing out from under momma's skirt.
    Grow up.
    If your dog could solve the problem then you would ask it's advice and post it. But you do not know why this happening so you lash out instead.
    Go back in your sleeper and nurse and take a nap

    I'm beginning to think this may be a design issue with the fender as this water must be thrown up by steers. I covered up the space between cab and fairings. I think it helped but I have not been out in rain since doing it, just a little drizzle .
    Wish I could have got pic of door glass. It was quite odd. But did not want to take a pic till I cleared all the traffic and it had stopped raining out that way.

    No, this is different. I've had to cascadias and other trucks. Only one that did this was a 9000i and it did not do until one day leaving the shop and I don't remember why it was there. But only can drive about 200 feet and impossible to see out mirrors and door glass is hard also.
    I think steers might be throwing it up. Been thinking maybe a wide trim for fender since it has no trim installed on it. This is a new truck. Also has tiny mirrors just like a pickup truck. They suck for setting out when dry.
