Abstract
In a waterdrop removing apparatus for a vehicle, a blower is attached to a part of high rigidity within a door body to reduce vibration and noise. Air discharged from the blower is guided to a door mirror by a nozzle to blow away waterdrops wetting a surface of the door mirror. The blower is attached to an attachment bracket which is fixed to a door hinge together with a front end wall of the door body interposed between the door hinge and the attachment bracket.
