Abstract
A water droplet removing system for a vehicle provided with door mirror assemblies each having a door mirror base attached to a door body, and a mirror unit guides air discharged by a blower installed in a door body of the automobile to at least either the surface of a mirror included in the mirror unit or the outer surface of a side window to blow off water droplets wetting the surface of the mirror or the outer surface of the side window. The blower is installed in a dead space defined in front of a guide rail placed in the door body to guide the front edge of the side window for vertical movement in the door body so that the interference between the blower and parts arranged within the door body including the side window can be avoided.
