Whazza22 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I hate the rain at the best of times but has anyone else experienced this? Door windows are wet from a night of rain and visibility is hugely affected so you decide to wind down the window to clear it and half the door panel gets covered in water!! Probably explains the common problem of window motors dying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 If your on about rolling down the window and water hitting door card, does it with every zed. Because of the shape, the water goes straight into the car. If its been raining but had stopped, drive the card round tight turn to make the water roll off the roof, then put windows down.

brillomaster Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 gotta agree with zugs... i had a shower wiper that wasnt getting used in the shower at all... so was reassigned to car wiping duties - 1 minute before i get in and all windows and roof are clear of water. Especially important for me as if i dont spot a car through the side window before i try and pull out behind two vans i get my bumper taken off.
