Strange one this - I have noticed (cant really miss it) that when driving in rain I get very large streaks of water coming from the A pillar on my A4 Allroad. The car is only 5 months old and my previous car (from another German marque) did not do this. It's actually quite off putting - stupid I know. It's as though there is a build up of water on the A pillar and near the door mirror that comes out and then streaks all over the drivers window when on the move.

Anyone else noticed this with their A4s?

Water streaking along the windows when it rains? Yes I have noticed this. On every car ever made.
I get the same problem on the windscreen too, when it rains I get water droplets. Luckily the wipers remove them so I dodged a bullet there!

Haha aren't we funny.

I have owned many Audis and BMWs and this steaking is not the same - it's a question as I am just seeing if it's a design 'feature' or something is wrong with the A pillar / mirror. Most door windows DO NOT streak like this as I have never seen puddles building on the pillars.
