Wash your car with sand.

FWIW OP, I can let mine sit overnight and then when I roll them down and back up again the 24 hours later, they get wet. It usually takes 2 days in FL for the inside of the door to dry out.

I managed a touch less car wash for 5 years. The problem is window sills, do not exactly "seal" their is no car that you can roll the window down after washing it and then roll it up and it be completely dry. Even if you dried it first, then put it down. Just roll them up and down 4 or 5 times, drying it off each time, then leave your windows up over night and it should be fine the next day.

Also if your going through a full service touch less car wash and they have high power air blowers it is actually worse because it forces the water down the sill. My car wash even had four 1 million BTU heaters used to evaporate the water, but you still had the same problem if you roll the window down to soon.
