My RX350 doesnt do that either. Thats actually one of my favorite things about my RX. My other vehicles still have water in the window channel a day after a carwash.

I think you guys are nuts.

All of my cars have had issues with the window trim staying wet and streaking the window.
My Odyssey does it, the GS, the NSX, the MR2, even the Panamera and X5M did it.

I typically solve this by washing the car at the end of the day and letting it sit overnight.
I always have a microfiber towel and some Adam's Detail Spray in the trunk.
Or, I try not to roll the windows down for a bit if the car has just been washed.


I guess if you guys owned German cars, you would have other things to complain about.
