Camry Aero Question ..

I own a 2007 Camry Hybrid, overall I am pleased with how its performing, when the wife is not driving I can achieve tank mileage above 45mpg with it, the wife struggles to maintain 42, sill not bad, but not my question.


Last night I came home in a blinding rain storm. Having rain x I do not use my wipers and as such I noticed something very odd. No water was dripping down the rear glass of the Camry.

The rear glass remained dry throughout the trip, except when I slowed down enough for it to fall on the glass then it would eventually dry up and stay dry.

I would assume that the water would at the very least run down the glass in straight lines, not stay dry. Where does the water coming off my roof line go? Over the sides of the car?

Thanks ..
