Washing the car for the first time I noticed the rear blade arm does not lift up, tough to really clean the back window.

Same on all?

 

yes

 

yep, it's a pain. i guess if you were going super fast, you wouldn't want it lifting up due to wind.

while you're at it, the rear window seal will collect water and slowly leak it out over the next few hours. you may want to pay a visit to your newly cleaned car in a few hours and wipe those watermarks off. you're also in for a surprise when you roll your window down and up tomorrow, and the next day (and possibly the day after that).

i love my z, but the window seals all around are just crap.

 

I know what you mean rands. I washed and dried my Z and when I opened the rear hatch to my surprise water started dripping out of the corner. I thought the seal was compromised so I talked to the glass shop tech and he said that it was one of the flaws he noticed in the Z's Now i make it a point to open the hatch and make sure all the water drains out

 

One of the first things I do when I buy a new car... wash it and see where the water trickles from.. I have ahd worse dribblers than my Z.... To me .. jsut keep a few small towels around to catch em as they show up.

My dodge ram has horrible water traps... its the next day and I find water trapped and flinging everywhere...

EZ

 

Still can not understand why blade was not designed to lift up.
