Wet windows after down/up?
 
Anyone else have their windows come but up wet after being down? I get this even 24 hours after there has been rain or I've washed the Z, even when the windows were dry before I put them down. I worry that there is moisture in the door panel, or the the weather stripping is failing.

Thanks!:tiphat:

this is normal for just about every car

Yea, my Z does it, and it drives me crazy but haven't found a solution yet

It can take a while for the inside doors to dry out.

If you had Miata doors this would not be a problem. They have built in heaters.

as well as anti tank armour which is an added bonus

It's completely normal for most cars. It's that strip of fiber? that's at the top of the door. It guides the window down, and that's when the window gets wet, not when it comes up.

I keep a microfiber towel to wipe them after I roll them back up, this only lasts a couple of days after a wash no biggie.

Common misconception, Mazda actually puts a ShamWow! in each door.

Newspaper would work better than MF towels

I don't have this issue anymore since I retrofitted the Miata doors on my Z. Best mod I ever made, hands down

the sound of the door closing is like an orgasm for my ears!

Same thing happened to me a week ago and I had a bunch of streaks on driver side. Weird thing though yesterday after my weekly wash. I didn't roll down my window once and later on I noticed same streaks as if window was rolled down.

use a leafblower to dry out the seal after washing the car.

I do the same, works great.

Funny thing is, this doesn't happen on my Mazda windows, and it isn't a Miata!

It's just frustrating that the go down dry, and come back up wet (I'm pretty sure there's a that's what she said in there someplace).

Mazdas superior build quality is truely second to none. If I didnt all ready put on Miata doors I'd be trading in the Z
