Rainx does not solve the problem of why this dirty water is flying up and back around onto mirror . But it may help. I sprayed it with ceramic wax this morning.

Many things can affect how much water gets splashed onto side windows and mirrors. Are the mirrors to close to the cab body, wrong angle of the mirror body in relation to the angle of the mirror glass. Wheel well rubber fairings can be added. What is the ‘water evacuation’ design of the steer tires? Are your running flotation tires?
markk Thanks this. -

I got banned for two weeks for instigating and trolling just recently. Guess it depends how the dictator is feeling each day.

Think I know where mud water comes from. Look at these pics of my fuel tank. Covered in mud. Fender with little flap on top is about 8" lower than trailer and single tires are as high as flap. Throwing mud or road water over flap . The. I guess air flow from under truck throws it towards front up between cab/faring and on to mirror.
That is a hell of a air flow going forward at highway speed .Attached Files:

But I did tape some plastic under doors between cab and faring. ( plastic strips that are normally there are not on truck. ) . Just put under doors. It stopped a lot of it. So that tells me it is air coming from u der truck and up between cab/faring.
If I keep this job I'm just going to go to salvage and buy them strips that go there. See if that fixes it.
I had the same truck except mine was a 17 instead of 23. Mine did not do this. But theni e had the strips there.. I don't think them strips are there just for looks. -
