Lots of vehicles are like this...the seals at the bottom of the windows hold some moisture and when the window comes back up, water is deposited on the window...

My Ascent is like this after a car wash. If I roll them down right after a car wash, they come up kind of wet and streaked. At some point "later" they don't. I can't really define later, the only reason I roll them down after a car wash is if my dog is in the car. Otherwise I only roll them down for parking ramps or something.

None of my previous new cars did..my old benz does not.. our first subaru...do all your cars do it?

I've never had a vehicle that didn't do this to my memory...and I've owned a lot of them over the years. Fresh moisture, if it exists on the seal...which is like a squeegee...will put that moisture back on the window when the glass pulls it away by surface tension.

Its alwys been like that. Thats why whenever you do expensive car wash (like hand wash) people in the car wash always suggest to do not open windows for a couple of hours - if you drive, in this case it dry faster. If car is parked and its after the rain it takes much longer to dry from just inside seals.

All of my cars regardless of make did this as well, whether European or Japanese. While it may annoy you till it dries, it is nothing of concern.

Rubber seals on window get wet. Have owned 100+ cars and they all did this including 1993 Bentley I owned which was a $200k vehicle.

Wow!! THAT is the definitive statement Cool.

Yes, our Ascent does this, so does our BMW 3 series and X3. My previous 2008 WRX, Lexus IS250, etc., they all did it.

Some stupid expensive cars don't have felt on the window squeegee. They are setup where every so many years you replace the squeegee like a wiper blade. Saw it on a S-class from the early 90's personally. It was basically a limo without being stretched tho. Had full dual pane glass on the sides with a air gap and all kinds of stuff.

thank you all

My Lincoln, Mercedes GLS450, and all my other cars (I don't know about the Corvette, as that is always handwashed and detailed afterward) all did this. ......Actually, I don't even know if the wipers even work on my Corvette!!

The problem of leaking was fixed in our Ascent. Seems the seal around the window opening gets crimped. The service writer said mine was not the first one to be in their service dept with this problem. They replaced the driver's window seal and now NO MORE Leaks!

Really? You mean they replaced the seal and now your window comes up DRY after a car wash?
