Question Wet Windows

When you guys wash your cars or have your car washed, does it take forever for the padding in the drivers side and passenger side to dry. What I mean is you know how you shouldn't roll your windows down right after you get a car wash to avoid the streaking from the water. I usually wait an hour or so to roll down my windows, but to no avail, the windows come back up with water on them. I have even gone as far as waiting a day to roll the windows down, and they were still wet when I rolled the windows down and back up. Any comments are welcome.

As soon as I'm done washing, I'll roll mine down, dry them off, then repeat the process. This seems to just about eliminate the problem. I always do my windows last anyway, so it's no big deal.

I've found the same thing too. After the car is dry I try to leave it in the sun for a couple of hours. Even then it's still wet! What I do now, is I roll it down, but as I get close to my destination, I roll them back up. The combination of the wind and the heat usually dries it very quickly and the streaks aren't noticeable anymore.

I use an electric leaf blower to dry off the car when im done washing. I noticed the same problem, so i blow that area pretty good. Roll the window down then back up and do it again.

Seems to work.. Cept that damn grease spot...
