	2010 peterbilt 386, rain water beads on the side windows and does not get blown off. as this beading builds up on the windows and the mirror, it becomes very difficult to see anything in the mirrors. when this occurs at night it is impossible to see anything in the mirrors. changing lanes in these conditions is extremely dangerous.
