2021 GX 460 has a clear liquid draining down the inside windshield from the block next to the rear view mirror. Any idea what that's all about? Service needed?

 

Can you get a larger pic? Could be water intrusion or ww fluid leaking from a line, perhaps

 

Thanks for the response and suggestion. The liquid is clear, so it doesn't show up in the picture, but I'm pretty sure that it's like an oil. It hasn't dried up in over a month. I've left it there so that I can show someone what's going on. I can't imagine what a liquid would be doing up near there.

 

That's really bizarre - sorry I couldn't be more help

 

That’s your gel pack for the auto wipers sensor.

 

Thanks. I was wondering what type of liquid would be up there. It was leaking for a few weeks leaving a thin trail down the windshield, but now it seems to have stopped., Would you think that it needs to be replaced or refilled?

 

Yeah it’ll need to be replaced. It’s a gel rectangle that senses the rain under that panel. Once it leaks it’s over. Not bad to replace.

 

Thank you so much for the advice. I do a lot of car repair work myself, but I might let this one go to the dealership.

 

^No problem. Hope all goes well.

 

Thanks again. They say that they only last 3-5 years, so I guess that I'm due. My first car with that problem.

 

We have an ES350 that is doing this - thanks for the info!

 

Thats interesting, our 2014 ML with rain sensing wipers doe snot have this, over 10 years old.

But good to know if it happens to our 21 GX
