Default Does this happen to you?

Maybe its me but everytime I would drive with the window cracked and say i spray my windshield with glass cleaner the water that is pushed away by the wipers seems to retreat towards the drivers side window and then leak onto my drivers side door armrest from the top of the drivers side window. Anyone else experienced this?

Maybe close your window when you do it...

If you look at the windshield , there is a small rubber piece which runs up from the bottom of the windshield to the top , im assuming over time the rubber gets tight and concaves to the windshield and the water just goes over it as opposed to it acting like a gutter.

And yes I know I can close my windows when i do that, thanks for the ADVICE ! lol

i have a similar problem with my mkiii 87, not just windshield washer but when it rains, i would just flow through the area where the targa meets the windshield frame on both ends to to the doors. im happy my sc doesnt have it though :]
