Why Put Bags on Your Car's Exterior Mirrors: An Interesting Winter Lifehack
In late autumn, winter and early spring, many motorists face the problem of periodic icing of the outside rear-view mirrors.
The devices may become covered with a crust of ice if the car is left overnight in the open air.
In this case, you will have to spend a lot of time in the morning removing the ice layer.
By the way, achieving the desired result without damaging the reflective surface is quite difficult.
But there is one little trick that will help you avoid icing your outside mirrors.
Lifehack with mirrors and bags
Before leaving your car in the yard in the evening, you need to “dress” your mirrors in regular plastic bags.
Of course, the wind can blow away the bags.
To prevent this from happening, the polyethylene material must be secured with rubber bands or adhesive tape.
Done! You can safely leave the vehicle in the open air all night.
The mirrors will not freeze. They will be indifferent to low temperatures and freezing rain.
In the morning, you will only need to remove the "hardened" bags. The mirrors themselves will be perfectly clean.
For reference
A rear-view mirror is a mirror installed on a vehicle that allows the driver to see what is happening behind.
