Rooftop Rails = Bird Perch
It's amazing how many bird droppings I've had to clean off my windows in he less than 2 months I've had my new X3 - and I recently discovered why... For some reason, birds love to perch on my roof rails and then proceed to do their #2 down onto my windows. It's so annoying and I don't know why I didn't have this issue with my 2009 X3 roof rails. I've thought about lining the area with arsenic but I figure I'd get in trouble for that. (Just kidding, of course.) That being said, as careful as I've been to sponge that stuff off, I think I gave myself a few very light surface scratches. I guess I thought the dropping was moist enough to sponge off. Arrgh..
I thought I'd share my dislike for the birds in my area... lol |

What's the colour of your car? I find birds like to do their stuff on dark cars. I park my car indoors daily so birds haven't had much opportunity, but I'm in your general area.

It's a Deep Sea Blue - so your dark car theory works. LOL
If I could electrify the rails, that would be cool. Believe it or not, I thought about. Another thing I thought of is putting those spikes on the rails like they do on top of things they won't want pigeons to land, but that didn't seem feasible. Snakes - I never thought of. haha I haven't had anything for almost a week now, which is new. fingers crossed!! |
