A vehicle side-view mirror water removal arrangement (19) is easily retrofitted to vehicles having an existing source (21) of compressed air and a side-view mirror (13) with a reflective surface (17) . The arrangement includes a valve (23) having an input port (25) connected to the existing source of compressed air and an output port (27) , the valve being movable between open and closed positions to control the flow of compressed air from the existing source of compressed air to the output port of the valve. A conduit's (29) proximal end (29) is connected to the output port of the valve with its distal end (33) located at the side-view mirror for conducting the compressed air from the output port of the valve to the side- view mirror. A fastener (35) fastens the distal end of the conduit to the side-view mirror so that the compressed air flows down the reflective surface of the side-view mirror, a nozzle (37) at the distal end being provided to spread the compressed air substantially over an entire width of the side-view mirror to clear any water adhering to the reflective surface of the mirror.
