Default washing car with window visors

so is it impossible now to wash the windows at the top since the visors collect water? i just washed my car and there are water marks all along the top where the visors are at. any suggestions when washing car? thanks!

Just jam the microfiber towels in there..kinda like when you're using osmosis to get the water out of the lug nut cavities on the wheels..same ish.

Clean your windows last. Roll them down, clean the top of window and inside of visors, then clean the rest. Its so easy.

with the window rolled down you should be able to clean it okay as long as it didn't dry.

I roll my window down to clean under the visor. Seems like the only way.

wash the car, spray water between the visors and the window, then put the window down and clean the visors from the inside and the top part of the windows as well, put the windows up and keep washing
