Default Wet Window

Anyone notice that their windows never dry - like when you roll down the window the "wipe" up always leaves streaks?

I know - stupid observation

if your talking about when you roll the windows down roll them back up It would leave the streak. I've noticed that mine take like 3 days for that to stop happening after I wash my car

Just guessing but the rubber seal/felt is large which would increase drying time when wet. Maybe you need to pass a rag or air in between the seal and window.

This was a problem when I had my '14 IS, but my '13 GS never had this issue. Here's a couple threads about it:

I just roll my windows up and down a few times before wiping them, it seems to help a bit. I'm more annoyed with trying to keep the side skirts clean on my UW
