I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I'm a faithful bucket washer (wash when it's dirty) using Optimum No Rinse and Opti-seal as a drying agent when washing our CX-5 (2400 miles). I use a minimum amount of water on the entire vehicle when washing the car - no more than 2 gallons. I've never washed this vehicle with a hose or in a car wash. I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed that their rear windshield lower weatherstrip (the one beneath the rear wiper) isn't watertight? Mine will allow any moisture to roll down the window and flow beneath it. It will take me a while to draw the moisture out of the crevice with my microfiber drying towel. It doesn't appear normal to me that the weatherstripping isn't sealed to the glass, but I may be wrong. Has anyone else noticed this? I'm interested to find out if this is 'normal' or not.
If I washed my car in a traditional fashion, I can't imagine how much moisture would seep into the panel beneath the window. I have not seen this with my 2016 CX-9 - the design is similar to the 2017 CX-5, but not identical. Please share your experience - I'd like to know if I need to get it back to the dealership. I don't want moisture to be getting into a place where it shouldn't due to the rusting risk.
