A dirty window, a water-covered wing mirror or a leak around the roof of a motorhome can quickly make everyday life more difficult. In a car, certain accessories can also prove invaluable in an emergency evacuation. The problem is that the range of window-cleaning and car safety tools includes many different products, whose features are not always easy to compare.
Before you buy, three common pitfalls are worth keeping in mind:
For routine cleaning, an electric window cleaner or window-cleaning robot can reduce the effort required for large panes of glass. However, you should check that it is compatible with the surface: smooth glass, mirrors, tiles or any other even surface, according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a car, a telescopic wing-mirror squeegee should remain compact enough when folded away, while still offering a suitable length. The model shown here measures 22 × 6.5 cm and extends to 98 cm. This reach makes it easier to clean the wing mirrors without having to get out of the vehicle straight away.
For a window-cleaning robot, the main features to compare include:
The PuRuiKai PRK-21B claims 2,500 Pa of suction, a 4.5 m safety cord and protection against power cuts for up to 30 minutes. However, the manufacturer specifies that the device must remain plugged in while operating.
Waterproof butyl tape can be used for flexible repairs on certain windows, motorhome roofs, awnings, boats or pipes. The TAPEBEAR tape shown here is 50 mm wide and 5 m long, with a PET aluminium foil backing.
To ensure consistent adhesion, the surface must be clean and completely dry. Apply the tape gradually and press it down firmly to minimise the formation of air bubbles, then keep it protected from rain for 24 hours. This type of product is not a substitute for structural repairs when the surface is cracked, unstable or badly damaged.
For a car safety hammer, choose a model that combines a glass breaker and seat-belt cutter, has a non-slip grip and can be installed somewhere easily accessible from the driver's seat or rear seats. The specifications for the smosun models state that they are intended for use on tempered-glass side windows, but not on windscreens or laminated-glass sunroofs.
Why this choice suits this profile : This manual accessory can be easily stored in a door pocket, glove compartment or motorhome. It is ideal for motorists who want to quickly remove water from their wing mirrors and other glass surfaces.
It does not rely on a battery or theoretical suction power. Its flexible rubber blade helps minimise scratches on the mirror, provided you rinse away any abrasive dust beforehand.
Adjustable length of up to 98 cm, natural rubber blade and stated weight of 0.13 kg.
Why this choice suits this profile : With its stated suction power of 5,600 Pa, it is aimed at owners of large, smooth glass surfaces who want an automated solution and have a nearby power socket.
The specifications state that the device is intended for smooth glass surfaces. Avoid cracked, poorly secured or uneven windows, and attach the cord before every use.
Stated suction power of 5,600 Pa and intelligent water spraying on compatible surfaces.
Why this choice suits this profile : This sealing tape for windows and outdoor surfaces can provide a quick fix for owners of motorhomes, awnings or boats carrying out occasional repairs.
Preparing the surface is crucial: it must be dry and clean, the tape should be pressed down several times and protected from rain for 24 hours.
50 mm width, 5 m length and backing reinforced with PET aluminium foil.
Why this choice suits this profile : This compact design can be secured inside the vehicle, for example near the centre console, so it remains within easy reach in an emergency.
The specifications clearly state its limitation: tempered-glass side windows only. It should therefore not be considered suitable for windscreens or all glass surfaces.

Not necessarily. Several models must be powered from the mains while cleaning. Their built-in battery may only keep the device in place temporarily in the event of a power cut. You should therefore ensure that a power socket is available, secure the safety cord and read the instructions before switching the device on.
For TAPEBEAR tape, the specifications recommend leaving it in place and protected from rain for 24 hours. This timeframe assumes application to a clean, dry surface. Depending on site conditions, particularly temperature and humidity, adhesion may vary.
The car safety hammer should remain accessible from the driver's seat and, if possible, from the rear seats. Avoid storing it at the bottom of the boot or in a locked box. Before choosing where to place it, make sure it is securely fixed, does not obstruct any controls and that every passenger knows what it is for.
