Question Getting Rid of Side Mirror Drip Marks?

The drips from the side mirrors are driving me crazy. No matter how much I dry and try to get into the cracks around the side mirrors, I come out two hours later and I have water marks all down the side from drips coming off the mirrors. I can't even figure out where it is coming from.

Anyone have some tricks to dry this area out and stop the drips?
(That doesn't sound good. . . )

If you have a leaf blower, I recommend placing it on one of the corner edges of the side mirrors and letting er rip. It definitely does the trick!

air compressor works very well for things like this.........or if you don't have any type of artificial blower, just blow it out yourself.

I dry my whole car with a leaf blower and finish it with Menzerna High gloss acrylic shield spray to remove any remaining water spots. No more drips from the spoiler, mirrors or front grille. They are handy for drying rims as well, you can blow all the water out of the lug holes and around the tire allowing you to treat your tires much sooner. Just be sure you get an electric blower. No need to go for broke, mine was 29 bucks at sears.
