Question Streaking...

...windows. In the past couple months, after it rains or after some yahoo washes my truck, a lot of moisture has been getting retained within the doors As long as a couple weeks after getting wet, if I lower then raise any of the windows, they come up streaking wet, and then dry dirty, messing with nighttime visibility.

Is there some way to fix this?

YES, Move to Arizona!!! They dry fast here.

I have the same problem, with my windows. I have try to use Vinegar to wash and cut some of the grime that gets on the windows.

A lot of moisture has been getting retained within the doors right after I was it. But it drys fast in Arizona" Phoenix" . My problem is the windows just like to streak, with no matter what you use to clean them with.

And I hate streaking windows and not being able to see well.

I dry in the inside and outside of my windows with a chamois. This seems to clear up the streaks. Even when the get wet later after washing they do not seem to streak as bad.

Do you dry it after everytime it rains?

Anyhow, even if the entire exterior is dried after a wash a bunch of moisture hangs out inside the door under the lip the "seals" against the outside and every subsequent raising of the window brings more of it up.

I'm hoping someone who has disassembled their doors knows the magic of that seal and can give me an idea if something inside needs cleaning or replacement.

Sounds to me like you may need to replace your window seals. Mine dont do that ever

I have had instances where if it's very humid, I might go a few days and still bring streaks up, but that is extremely rare.

When the windows are down, take a look at the seals, maybe post some pictures. I imagine they might be wearing out as geeroy suggested. Maybe you just have dirt caked in there that's not coming out with regular washing. Some of the mud/crap sticks like glue!
