I have a White 01 CL-S. I have noticed that there are faint water streaks that start at the base of the side view mirrors. They continue down the door for about 6 inches. It is very faint, but it is very difficult to get rid of. Has anyone else had this problem?

My cousin has an MDX that had a similar problem and acura had a fix for it.

 

dark streaks? if it is its dirt in the water that drips out of the mirrors hinge in the housing, after washing move it back and hold a chamois in the hinge area

 

Yeah, the streaks are a dark gray. I will try your suggestion. Thanks for the help.

 

gator, be sure to zaino and the marks will come off easily

 

My hand car wash has an air blow gun. You wouldnt believe the dirt that blows out around the body joints and the silicone window surrounds

 

Since you cannot get all the water out of the mirrors, my old California carwash used to put a folded paper towel under the mirror in the slot between the mirror and housing to absorb those drips. Worked like a champ. Water these days has so many disolved elements in them that make it very hard and leaves deposits everywhere. Car washes in particular are bad because they use recycled water. No telling what in them.

 

bring it to acura..they will fix it for u just like your cousin did
