when you wash your car, do the windows continue to get wet when you roll them down??

Vegasboricua · 03-03-2010, 06:07 PM

ugh I just spent 4 hours completley detailing my car and when I came to work and rolled up the windows theres water and water spots on them. Its kinda frustrating. I keep some Meguires quick glass cleaner and Meguires Ultra Premium quick detailer handy and when I get home at night I spray and wash off the dirt that the car kicks up since I have no splash guards

it is just the felt type material that is still moist/wet. don't stress over that ****.

The longer you take to let the window up and down the longer it wil be there. Normally it just happens the first time you do it (roll window up and down). but this is very strange. "Can't be good holdin' moisture in the area for extended amounts of time."

happens to me all the time. seems to be pretty normal for these cars. but i haven't had it happen with any other car. for some reason the doors on this car seem to hold more moisture than usual.

24 h is nothing, especially in the cold. my car in the winter often took 2-3 days for the doors to dry out.

We were referring to the summer time in this case, where in the summer times it gets quite hot in the southern US (where Papo an I both live) and everything dries up quick.

Agree with the others who say this car holds moisture in the window area longer than any other car I've had.

Yeah, it takes about 24 hours to fully dry. I make a point of not using the windows until at least a day has passed. Pretty normal; all of my previous rides did the same thing.

its normal

its normal... you can get rid of most of it if you wipe the window rubber seal down with a towel, but its going to happen regardless....

hold on a second.... you're supposed to close your windows when you wash your car? how does the inside of your car dry then!?
