bleeding seals
 
Not sure if I've even used the correct description and if I'm in the correct room for this story, but here it is anyway. I have a new 2017 Honda Civic Coupe LX and have noticed that whenever there is any kind of moisture e.g., car wash (brush-less), rain or snow there is a "black" ooze from my rear view mirrors, door knobs. Can anyone tell me what is causing this? I will attach some pics of just what I'm talking about and thank you all for your help! Besides who wants to be driving a nice looking car with black streaks...not me.

Not sure what a door knob is, the inside handle?
Could the stuff on the mirror just be condensation?
Does it go away?
Check the sunroof drains, windscreen seal.

It's more than likely caused by a product the dealer or last owner used on the trim. Just keep washing and it will go away. I have an 05 Civic and daughter has a '12 and neither of them have this problem. Keep washing. Good luck.

Duane, thank you for your input. To eliminate the frustration I get from seeing those darn streaks, I've purchased a shammy and use it when I wash my car and that seems to help. Next time I'll check to see if there are any streaks after a rain/snow shower. Again, I appreciate your reply.
