Wing Mirrors

[Mat]

A few mornings i have gone out to my car to find all the windows misted up on the outside. Opening and closing the front two windows clears them great. While doing that i wipe the wing mirror, and if i remembered before i got in, I'd have wiped the passenger side one. But then after driving 5 minutes down the road, the mirrors have misted up again. How do i stop this?

 

In other cars i would aim the airvents towards the wing mirrors, but as the C4s are on pods, this doesnt do a lot

Try wiping them over with neat washing-up liquid. It works on bathroom mirrors - it might work for you.

OO - cool tip. Shall give it a go

you mean the door mirrors? :D

 

also get a bar of soap(dry) and rub it on the mirror, let it dry then buff it off. that should work as i use it on the insides of my crash helmet t stop it misting up.

I have a VTR+, is it true that the VTS has heated door mirrors, but VTR+ or below doesn't?

Seems strange that, with all the features the car has, it wouldn't have heated mirrors.

My 307 S had heated mirrors and was a far lower spec otherwise.

No, the VTR doesnt have heated wing mirrors. (Unless i have been really stupid and not found the button.)

 

If Fairy Liquid and/or soap doesnt work, can i upgrade, do you think?

Ham signals his intentions of the most safety concious driver on the forums!! :D

Do you use fragrence free soap as your nostrils must be working overtime?!

Could be right, but on the 307 the mirrors heated when you turned on the rear window demister

That definately doesnt happen on my C4. The rear windscreen mists up the same as the other windows, and hence i put on the rear demister.

Buy a VTS m8 :huh:

 

The mirrors are heated :D

One of the things i miss. Even my poverty spec 1.2 clio had heated mirrors.

Hmm. Cant be too hard to get a bit of wire, attach one end to the +, one to the - of the battery, and loop it round each mirror with a bit of tape, with a switch gaffer taped to the dash.

 

Hey presto. VTR to VTR+ upgrade !!

Hey presto, electrified mirrors.

 

Attach to the door handles too, to deter thieves.
