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...

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
