Default Dirty Runs
Does anyone get these dirty runs on the driver side only? The car hasn't been driven in any wet weather. Doesn't matter how clean the car is they always seem to appear. At first I though is was turning right through water.

Someone suggested the air conditioner drips on that side.


Thanks

Yes, my car currently has the squirts in the same location. Root cause is unknown to me.

Yes, I get those too. I was thinking it is the water draining from when the windshield washer is used. Mine doesn't go as far as the door like in you picture, mine is just comes from under the front fender. That is the closest I have been able to narrow it down to. Dealer says it's "normal".

I've seen it too. Only driver side. Not associated with windshield fluid use (don't use it here).

No. With front wrap and ceramic coating it runs right off.

Collectively we need to get to the bottom of this! as TTSPete said, it's probably related to the AC system. My AC is always on.

I don't use anything on my tires and get it all the time. I suspect it is the condensation drain from the AC.

I get that too. Thought it was flux capacitor bleed-off.
