Default Side window condensation

Now that old man winter is approaching, we get a lot of condensation on the outside of the car windows in the morning, Every other car I had, I would just roll down the side window and it would wipe the condensation away. For some reason, The NX does not do that, is there a work around for this problem instead of waiting for the side defroster to work which can take a while or wiping it manually.

you can try acquapel from amazon (there is a youtube video on how to apply). This will make the condensation bead off. So the window will still be wet but at least it will be clear..i use this on the windshield also. You have to see how it works in heavy rain. Water just beads and flies off. Amazing product..lasts 6 to 9 months one application

Your outside glass insulator in the door is not sitting flush against the glass as it moves. So it skips the thin condensate layer.
Rain X ALL windows. Redo once a year.
