Default Moisture in driver's window

I recently got a 2014 GS, and it's been pretty much flawless. The only problem I've noticed is the drivers side front door seems to be retaining water. After getting a car wash, or even if it just rains a bit, the window will get wet from being rolled down. It takes almost all day for the door to dry out. Normally I wouldn't think too much of it because I've had other cars do the same thing, but all the other windows will stay totally dry even after getting a wash.

Anyone else have this issue, or possibly know what's going on?

mines always get wet when its rain or I finished washing my car. that's why I don't roll down my window after my car wash.

Must be something going on, should not have any moisture right after car wash or rain. I never see any moisture inside my cars (2013 GS, 2012 Rav4).

​​​​​​Edit: This week in Dallas we got a couple heavy rain, no moisture inside the car.

Happens to me for a few hours after rain or a car wash also. I just leave it up for a while. Doesn't bother me. I think it is the rubber molding that stays moist and transfers water to the window. I doubt there is water pooling in the door.

They're referring to water collecting on the outside of the window when it is rolled down into the door and back up. Not moisture or water in the cabin.

Iim pretty sure it happens to all cars. if you get a carwash and roll down the windows too soon, it will leave streaks when you pull it back up.
