The article provides a classification of soiling sources of side windows and rear view mirrors, taking into account different weather conditions. Criteria for assessing soiling degrees are presented. The analysis of soiling mechanisms from various sources is carried out. Visualization of the trajectories of liquid droplets in the air flow is presented. The processes of interaction of droplets with the car surface and the movement of fluid on given surfaces are considered. The main soiling sources of side windows and rear view mirrors have been identified. The results of modeling the precipitation of droplets on the front door glass are presented when analyzing the movement of flows overcoming obstacles in the form of two generations of rear-view mirrors. Two different designs LADA Kalina / Granta demonstrate a significant difference in their ability to prevent soiling.
