Anyone ever notice this?
Ok this is just a dumb question but...
... has anyone ever looked into the rear view mirror of a bird during a rain storm and looked at the actual window....everytime it rains and I travel between 65-75 I get water on the rear window that doesnt go up it, down it, or anything, it just goes in circles dances around but never goes away, its really wierd, and also amusing if your driving alone
If its raining,,,,go drive and see it, if you'v noticed it before let me know, if urs dont do it, let me know, I guess its just the aerodynamics of my car at that speed

Even better: ever drive and it starts out dry, and you go through a section of town where it's pouring and when you stop later in a dry place, the entire car is soaked except the back window which is dry as a bone? That's what mine does all the time.

Yeah, when I'm out in the rain doing over 60mph my back window stays completley dry. Pretty nifty actually.

my guess is the high mount light that you have. it would leave an area that is kind of neutral, with no wind. so, swirling makes sense.

Yeah I've noticed that too. I do a lot of interstate driving and quite a bit in the rain lately and I noticed that too! I thought it was pretty cool. It'll just sit there and go in cirles. I have the high mount brake light too so that could be it!
