Rear window trim at top of door leaves a streak on the glass.

Hey all.

I have washed my HHR a couple times now, and no matter how much I try to clean this area, the rear left window trim, it still leaves a trail on the glass after the window is opened and shut.
Even after a few days and the car is completely dry, this still happens. It must be some residue of something that is on the inside of that black trim piece. Any thoughts on how to clean that off without having to remove it?

Thanks
Corey.

alcohol wipy.....use a popcycle stick and wrap the wipy around it, thin like so it can pass between the glass and seal..

Not sure....but I don't think the OP can edit a title. I think the Mod.'s can however.

Corey- The ability for you to "edit" your post is possible for only a few days, then it is set. & the Edit button goes away..

Click on the "Edit" button on that 1st post, then select Go Advanced

This will open the post, so you can revise the title..(should you still feel the need)..

Ask me how I know..
