Condensation On Side Windows Isn't Cleared When Rolling Windows Down

[stream]

I parked my car outside overnight the other day, and when I tried to remove the condensation on the side windows by rolling them down (so I could see out), it didn't remove the condensation.

This is the first car I've owned that didn't clear moisture from the side windows when rolling them down. Is this a Prius/Toyota issue? Anybody have better luck than me with this?

On mine, I roll the window down a bit & then start driving. Since I also have the V, the "Lotus Effect" (I love that!) on the front glass usually takes care of everything else by the time I hit a main road.

Haven't had this issue on my prius. But on my civic, I had the same issue and I had to sorta push outward against the glass while I roll down my windows to get rid of the condensation.

When I was a kid in the '70s, station wagons used to use the squeegee-in-the-window as a selling point. I notice that the squeegee has apparently been left out of windows lately...

Stream,
My 99 Corolla has this problem, so maybe it's a Toyota feature.

I know Most GM cars do it. My Prius does not remove one bit on anything on the window when i roll it down. I wonder why? It was a really nice feature.

I too park my Prius outside and now with the cooler weather I find the car covered with dew on many mornings.
Unfortunately, as stated, rolling down the windows does nothing to wipe away the outside condensation as it will on many other cars. Also, outward pressure on the window does nothing to help the situation either.
I guess the easiest thing is to carry a small squeegee in the car and use it to clean the side windows.

I used to keep a towel in my Corolla for this reason. I'd just quickly wipe all the windows. Now that it is getting colder, I'll have to start keeping one in the Prius.

Rool down and back up does help mine either. Very annoying "feature".
