Wet window

[sylvester]

If I wind down the front offside window (drivers door) and up again it often comes back up covered in water droplets - not after prolonged periods of dry weather but maybe for a day or two after wet weather or a good wash. Two garages have looked at it including the supplier and say they can't fix it.
All three other door windows are fine. What can you suggest

All cars I've been in seem to do this. I think it's just the window seals. Sometimes they are a tighter fit against the window than others. I wouldn't worry about it myself unless there is an excessive amount of water being drawn back out or water leaking into the car interior from the window in question.

You could try ensuring the rubber seal is seated into place properly. Also, cleaning the window with good-quality glass cleaner will help to stop a lot of water droplets from sticking to the glass thus preventing them from being drawn into the door when you wind the window down.


Hope this helps! :lol:

The window rubber that the bottom of the windows are like a felt material,

Best thing to do is to undo the window and get a credit card or some type and wrap a dry cloth around it and run it along the bottom of the window and rubber and get rid of all the dirt! This will then allow the rubber/felt but to dry out better!
