    Just got a new 19 Cascadia, wtf is up with the side windows? Can't keep them clean for 10 minutes. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a cure?

    I have the same problem
    Ordered window vents on line. They are waiting for me at home. Will update and post info on them if they work. I agree though they suck the rain and dirt to the windows wicked.

    i don't have a '19, but i do have one that is problematic..

    at one time, there was this plastic sort wind deflector, that attached to the mirror front..it would allow air flow up and over the mirror face, keeping it clean (or so they claimed).

    one looked like this

    i cannot find the actual one i speak of.

    try looking at the Iowa80 website, those people have just about everything.

    Probably leaking in behind the marker lights. It's a common problem. Take them off and silicone behind them before your SAM CAB gets wet and shorts out. Those are pricey to replace.

    Well I finally got home and picked up the vent shades. I installed them today. As soon as I hit some rain I'll let you know if they solved the water and dirt issue. If all is good I'll post the info on them and where purchased etc.

    I tried that on the mirrors the water just spins in circles didn't help at all. But does a pretty good job on windows.
