The rubber liners that create a seal to your window have a fealt sorta thing on the other side of them. Until they're dry, your window will keep getting wet while you roll them up and down. After a wash, i leave my windows up for several hours.

Yeap, it's a pretty common "problem". There's really nothing you can do to dry the felt strips out other than to wait.

Yup, pretty common... drives me nuts sometimes. Luckily, I have an air compressor in the garage & use it to blow the water out of the window liner. After that, I can pretty much roll up & down my windows streak free.

Cheers.
