How to Improve Visibility in Rain: A Driver's Guide

Poor visibility in rain is one of the leading causes of accidents. Yet most drivers do nothing to improve their visibility beyond turning on their wipers. Here’s how to dramatically improve your visibility in wet conditions.

The Problem with Rain and Visibility

When rain hits your windshield, it scatters light and creates a blurry, distorted view. Standard glass does nothing to repel water — it just lets it accumulate until your wipers can clear it.

Solution 1: Glass Fix Guard FixMyCar™

The Glass Fix Guard FixMyCar™ creates a hydrophobic (water-repelling) coating on your windshield. When applied, rainwater beads up and rolls off the glass at speeds above 40 mph — often without needing your wipers at all. The result is dramatically improved visibility in rain.

Solution 2: Replace Your Wiper Blades

Worn wiper blades streak and smear rather than clearing water cleanly. Replace your blades every 12 months or when you notice streaking. In winter, use winter-rated blades that won’t freeze.

Solution 3: Clean Your Windshield Inside and Out

A film of grime on the inside of your windshield scatters light and reduces visibility, especially at night. Clean the inside of your windshield regularly with a glass cleaner and microfiber cloth.

Solution 4: Defog Effectively

Use your car’s AC system (even in winter) to dehumidify the air and prevent fogging. The AC removes moisture from the air, clearing your windshield faster than heat alone.

The Complete Visibility Solution

Apply the Glass Fix Guard FixMyCar™, replace your wiper blades, and keep your windshield clean inside and out. The difference in rainy-day visibility is remarkable.
