CM Mirror leaking..grin
The C6 has only got 125 miles on the clock, it's brand new. I've noticed something creamy running down the side of the drivers door (outside)coming from the mirror. It's like a soap film but creamy. I've wiped it off several times but it comes back when I drive it. It almost reminds me of a elmers glue but it isn't sticky. Is this some kind of sealant that is getting hot? . It's getting less and less as time goes on, just curious STRANGE

BTW..I love the car.

HI there,
It could be a paint sealant or wash from when they did the detailing of the car.
If your sloppy, you can get it into the mounting surfaces of the mirror.
Allthebest, c4c5
