Yes...It happens to every single Scion I have seen after a nice wash. The way I try to fix this is by Floding the mirror a couple of times. You will notice that the water will drip out some.

:D :D :D

sorry to break it to you, but mirrors on all cars are designed to leak out the water thats sprayed into them.....the best way to keep you car from leaking the water out while you drive it is to sray it with some compressed air, then wipe any access water off the sides...

Yeah, all cars do this. I also noticed this to be worst under the honey comb front grills and then again in the rear. Basically water will flow out as the car flexes and/or air pushes it out until dried.
