    Caused by either water trapped in the seal OR vibrations from the arm against the paint.


    Cathy posted a great and cost effective aid to try and prevent this from happening.

    Remove the wing mirror - information about how to do this can be found here:

    Then line the arm with black edging - widely available, but here is some from eBay;
