On a drizzling day I could see the irritating black streaks forming again so tried this old technique involving a piece of green garden wire. In this minimal rainfall with no wind it did work and took the rain drips away from the Eriba. There must be a more sophisticated solution?

Some people use those plastic tie wraps one each corner through the drain holes.

I'll start saving for those then.

Whatever you use, either keep it a short length or remove before traveling - or the tip will score an arc in the paintwork.

Cable ties, very effective and discreet if you use the white ones.

Must be me but I find that if you take a vertical line from the vans waistline and then measure horizontally to the point of the rain gutter, one would need plastic cable ties of considerable length in order for the rain not to drip and land at a point around the vans waist. I've found ties of a long enough length but once inserted through the rain gutter openings they tend to droop down which in effect shortens their length.
I've now taken to giving the area of the van that is subject to rain water drip a quick wipe with a soapy cloth following days of rain. Much easier and effective I've discovered.

Could you not be cheeky and ask ? I dare you....😈
