Are waterproof stickers on car mirrors effective?
Despite the hype, many people say that waterproof stickers on car mirrors are not very effective, because when stuck on the rearview mirror, when it rains, water still seeps in and it is still difficult to see. In many cases, it even damages the car.
Many customers have bought and used the product of waterproof stickers on car mirrors, at first the efficiency was 50-70% compared to the advertisement. But after only 1 month of use, the stickers began to deform, appearing cloudy due to the stickers being damaged by rain and sun. This does not help the mirror clean but also obstructs the view, causing discomfort and danger to vehicle users.
In addition, after a period of use, dust will accumulate on the sticker, causing scratches on the mirror. The consequence is having to replace the mirror, which is extremely costly.
Experts say that modern cars are equipped with a number of useful features. One of them is a heating element located right on the car's rearview mirror. The purpose of this is to dry the glass in rainy weather. Therefore, when traveling in foggy or stormy weather, users should use this part.
