when you wash your car, do the windows continue to get wet when you roll them down??
 

i took my car for a drive a little while ago, and i rolled down the window and rolled it back up and it was wet. the dealership washed the car yesterday evening before i got there, but should it still be getting the windows wet? is that normal...?

Mine does it also, just water down there and it needs to dry out.

If its cool out that could happen as it has happened to me the other day, in warmer weather that's not normal although.

Mine does it too. I'm a little concerned about corrosion inside the door since it takes so long for it to dry out...

isnt that normal for all cars?

i mean its just water that needs to be dried off...takes longer cuz its "concealed"

My car does this too. It has nothing to do with the weather tho....but it will take longer to dry in the cold. I've had 6 cars and none of them did this. I hate how after the car's all nice and clean... the water streaks on the windows come back

none of my previous cars have done this after they were dry. it makes me think that the window seals aren't very effective if that much water is going down inside the door panel... unless the water is just pooling right at the seal? :confused:

Could just be holding water in the spongy part of the seal

Every car that I had does the same after washing the car even during Summer. Just don't roll the windows after washing the car for a while and have a cloth to dry it..

But 24 hours or so later even in the summer?

my thought exactly... i have never had a car do that before. seems like it might be better to let it dry with the windows down...

ugh I just spent 4 hours completley detailing my car and when I came to work and rolled up the windows theres water and water spots on them. Its kinda frustrating. I keep some Meguires quick glass cleaner and Meguires Ultra Premium quick detailer handy and when I get home at night I spray and wash off the dirt that the car kicks up since I have no splash guards

it is just the felt type material that is still moist/wet. don't stress over that ****.

The longer you take to let the window up and down the longer it wil be there. Normally it just happens the first time you do it (roll window up and down). but this is very strange. "Can't be good holdin' moisture in the area for extended amounts of time."

happens to me all the time. seems to be pretty normal for these cars. but i haven't had it happen with any other car. for some reason the doors on this car seem to hold more moisture than usual.

I didn't see that! 24 hrs? :confused:

24 h is nothing, especially in the cold. my car in the winter often took 2-3 days for the doors to dry out.

Agree with the others who say this car holds moisture in the window area longer than any other car I've had.

Yeah, it takes about 24 hours to fully dry. I make a point of not using the windows until at least a day has passed. Pretty normal; all of my previous rides did the same thing.

1) door is aluminum w/ the 370z
2) there are ways for moisture to get out on it's own
3) the aluminum has a coating on it anyway
4) Any corrosion it does get will be aluminum oxide, which is harder than aluminum, and won't corrode any further

What you're seeing is the window seal that has some water soaked in it. happens on ALL cars.

I agree and it's not too bad...

its normal

We were referring to the summer time in this case, where in the summer times it gets quite hot in the southern US (where Papo an I both live) and everything dries up quick.

its normal... you can get rid of most of it if you wipe the window rubber seal down with a towel, but its going to happen regardless....

You guys must not clean your cars too often... happens EVERY time with EVERY car ive owned... summer or not... water inside your door isnt going to evaporate - lol... all the coolant in your radiator will be TOAST if that were the case

hold on a second.... you're supposed to close your windows when you wash your car? how does the inside of your car dry then!?:rolleyes:
