That bl***y wing mirror drip

Of all the cars I’ve ever washed, the RRS has to be the most infuriating. That persistent little drip from the wing mirror, and the run off just by the C post drive me mad. They have me re-leathering the thing for about half an hour after it’s all done.

That’s made me laugh....it’s not just me then!

I live in Kent in a hard water area so I get hardened chalky stripes from both mirrors and the door handles on a black car! Drives me mental...

I normally wrap the chamois around the mirrors once finished....

A hacksaw works fine, you cant see whats behind, but the drips gone

Has anyone tried drilling a drain hole in the bottom of them yet? I’m so sorely tempted....

Ooh tempting. What do the guts of the mirror look like, could drilling blind cause damage? MY15.5 HSE
