Hello again,
Some interesting ideas, but i am afraid most of them are not practical for this particular problem. The car is parked in a non grass area, so snakes cant be used for example. Also, snakes would present another problem which is not good either.
And as to chemicals, if they wash away too easily then they have to be applied too often.
The oven glove idea is cute, but i am not sure i want to put a cover on the mirror. That would mean it could come off with a strong wind. However, i may have to think about that some more. If it comes down to that i may have to try it. I guess you meant a stretch glove? A plastic glove might work i guess, although it has to be taken off an put back on after every car use.
I do know this is not unique to this car and location too as i have read about other people having the same problem in other parts of the country. Strange though, this is the worst place i've ever lived for this kind of problem. Other places i have lived had little or no occurrences. I think it may have something to do with the large pine trees in the next yard, which are very close to the car, say about 15 feet away.
There is no grass on either side of the car though, just driveway, and on the drivers side there is the next door driveway with a 4 inch high brick divider. So that's strange too, but the tree branches come out close to the car vertically. They used to actually hang over the car before they were trimmed last year.
