Water does not clear off windows when rolled down

seems to be an ongoing theme, people doing a Google Search and finding Prime Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting thinking any car but the Toyota Prius Prime is ok to post here. @Tideland Prius

as for the windows, i think toyotas seals are too loose.

 

fixed it

 

Yes, this has been reported, I experienced it....and it's normal for The Prius.
To be honest?
I think it's all about how you want to look at it.

A tight seal might act as an automatic squeegee when rolling your windows up or down when raining BUT...the rest of the year or when it's not raining that tight seal also acts to drag dust and debris against your glass and can cause scratching and damage.

Therefore, I easily just got to the point where I saw NOT having the squeegee level seal as being a good thing.
Once driving the wind blows the excess rain away anyway. and IF raining once you've squeegeed the rain off, it just starts re-appearing.

If you really hate it? Rain-X or other windshield sealing products can really help.

PS.
I bought and still have a small shower squeegee that I keep in the back of my vehicle. If I approach it and visibility is REALLY bad?
I just grab it and quickly squeegee of the rain before I even get in the vehicle.

During the fall and winter, this keeps the windows cleaner by default.
