ABSTRACT:
An air scoop for use in conjunction with an external mirror on a vehicle for eliminating water droplets on the reflecting surface of the mirror by funneling a flow of air over the top of the mirror and down over the face thereof. The air scoop includes a top plate mounted above the top of the mirror, and a downwardly curving deflector formed at the rearward edge of the top plate to direct the flow of air over the surface of the mirror when the vehicle is in forward motion. The air blows the water spray off of the mirror for improved visibility.
