I use my shop vac. Works good around the tail lights too.

I blast the crap out of the mirrors (and the seam where the mirrors fold) for 15-20 seconds with an air compressor. No drips!

Exactly. Slam the doors a couple of times and it’ll be good enough.

I think the problem isn't the water that sits inside the mirror housing, it's the water that sits in the stem where it attaches to the door. So, folding the mirrors won't help. I've tried blowing it out with the air compressor, eh, it works a little. I've seen people post here that they don't have that problem at all, which tells me that it is a quality issue at the factory. I would love to know what the fix is because my passenger side drips and the drivers side does not...wtf?
