Do Your Door's Lower Window Seals Act Like a 'Squeegee' When Lowering the Glass?

    With my old truck (and other cars) if I say leave them outside overnight and there's a lot of condensation on the glass in the mornings - in addition to turning on the wipers for a few wipes, I just lower the windows and it 'squeegees' off the glass making it easy to see out the sides as well.

    But on my '14 the windows come back up as if they were hardly even touched. Visually the outer rubber seals at the bottoms of the window openings appears to be very tight fit.

    Anybody else encounter this?

    I hate that it does this. When I wash my car in the summer at work I want the windows down but then it makes the windows look like shit :(

    If you want more off just push on the door a bit as it rolls up and down. It helps quite a bit.

    Not really. But when it's below freezing the windows like to freeze shut until the interior is nice and HOT!:mad: So it is making contact, at least when the windows are closed.

    My driver side clears the entire window, passenger.. maybe 1/3. Living here in the UK when everything is constantly damp in the morning it pisses me off the passenger side doesn't clear. Also not having heated mirrors, have to wait for the water to dry or blow off.
