Car wash in the morning, warm, sunny, dry weather in the interim, 3+ hours later, windows should not streak in the afternoon. Simple as that.

So don't know if this is normal for these cars or not , any help would be great :-)
Normal I hate when that happens, at least the rain repellent helps with the front two glasses, leaving less water. I always look like an idiot getting out my car to wipe my glass down.

It happened on my Scion. It happened on my Tacoma. It happened on my TSX. It happened on my Saturn. It happened on my 4Runner. It happens on my RX.

So yes, you can count me in the "it's normal for me" group, and no, it's not my first car.

Enjoy your day, dbs600.

NEVER happened on any of my car HOURS after a car wash on a warm, sunny day.

You understand I'm not referring to streaking immediately after a wash, right?

What's the disconnect here?

Enjoy your day, JDR76 (lol).

Absolutely understood. Even the next day it has been common for me to have it. Perhaps you've been fortunate enough to avoid it but I have not.

too bad the weather isn't always sunny, warm, and dry -- even still, though, i've had instances under said circumstances in which the windows have streaked. it's not uncommon for lexus nor for the rest of the auto industry.

anyhow, i'm also in the 'it's normal' group and no, as inferred prior, it's not my first car either.
