Mine do not and I find it very odd.

Is that normal?

Design flaw or done on purpose?

The window is only in perfect seal when rolled all the way up, as designed. Most cars do not maintain constant touch. you wouldn't want that anyway as you'd strain the window motor. fast way to blow a fuse or burn out your motor.

I see. I don't think I've ever had a car like that before, but I've also probably changed a window motor on every car I've had so that checks out. I do wish I could clear the window off though. Thanks!

LMAO get a $5 squeegee @ Amazon.
I carry a small squeegee in the front door area. Wipe my windows off before driving in the morning. Takes 30 seconds.
I have to reverse down my driveway @ 5AM and it's still very dark out so I make sure to do this before leaving every morning (as needed).
