Default windshield changes to the B7

I've noticed with the B7 windshield, more water drips down when coming to a stop or in reverse. Is the window positioned differently compared to the B6? Seems like the B6's windshield sits in deeper, maybe keeping the rain water off more? Just curious as to more subliminal changes on the B7 from the B6.

Maybe the new paint isn't holding the water as much, and your car needs a good wax

Default The slippery B7 he's driving is a loaner - I'm talking about his B6...

which he says is holding more water, and does not have a different roof angle, so you're making my point...

Default To clarify...

It rains and then you go to move the car out of a parking space. Or you come to a stop at a red light. Then steams of water fall down the windshield. Wipers have to go on to clear the window. I do not get this as much with my B6. When I was cleaning the windshield with a rag last week, I noticed the glass sits more flush with the top of the roof. My B6 has more of a "step" from glass to sheet metal. Perhaps they did something with the window placement for aerodynamics?
