Cascadia mirrors in the rain,

Figured I better subscribe to this thread, my century is terrible this way and I'm sick of having to reach out and wipe the mirrors off just to be able to back into a spot. Curious how they work.

 

OK.. Update.. The Weathershedders came right on schedule, it was us not putting them on for one reason or another... Other tasks of higher priority... But we now have applied them and will give a review when we see rain... Of course NOW there isn't any in the forecast... Wouldn't you know... LOL!

 

Rain X and sometimes it helps to do the front side og the mirror housing also.

 

Question for you.
Because you make the mirror wider by adding the weathershield,do you find that your left and right blind spot has increased much?

 

Not to any noticeable degree...

 

Wonder if they will hurt mileage ?

 

I just received my Weather Shedder Shields and will put them on tomorrow. Spent the last two days at the GATS and spent a pile of money. Need to get back on the road and start saving for next year. Once I get the hood shield and door window shields, and installed, things should be quite nice going down the road. Trying to keeps the bugs off the windshield and keep them out of the cab when they bounce off the side of the mirrors.

 

i will take the increased visibility in the rain and yuck over a maybe 0.01 mile/gal... It does follow the line of the mirror for the most part.

 

Well we have now hit some rain with them... Some rain still gets on the mirror, but its more misty... However, it now sends the bugs and rain right into the side windows! So I would give it a 6/10... Haven't tried them in snow yet... Hoping we won't have to worry about that for a while yet!

 

I will admit I kinda forgot about this thread, we did try an air foil on the mirror, but as Lady K stated, it just kind of moves the crap to the side window, which of course you still have to look thru.

So as of right now, the Rain X app. is really about as good as it gets, for rain anyway.

JMHO
