    Has anyone noticed how hard it is to see out of the cascadia mirrors when it is raining, my question is, are they made of plastic, when it rains you can't see anything out of mirrors at least on my 2010 model even tried applying rainx no help

    Yup....rain-x and then turn on the heated mirrors...
    It will help the water beadup and blowoff...that that sticks will get evoporate off and dry...
    Worked for me on both the 2 serperate side mirror style, and type with the plastic fairing. It is important that the mirrors be 100% clean when it starts to rain....a bit of grime, and they will look bad quick....
