Window wet after rolling up

I just picked up my car from Acura to days ago after bringing it in to have a cabin rattle fixed (TSB B11-025) and to have the rubber felt pieces on my driver door window replaced because it was making a loud screeching noise when opening and closing.

It also rained yesterday while I was out and I had all the windows closed. A few minutes ago however, I opened my driver side window all the way down, and then when I closed it, I noticed that it came up all wet. Only the outside is wet with streaks of water. The other windows do not do this and I'm not sure if my window was like that before.

I had other work done on the driver side window before. I had trouble with the window where the window would roll down instead of up if you flick the auto-switch too quickly. I brought it in and they replaced the regulator and the run channel under warranty.

Any ideas on this?

if i roll a wet window down, and then roll it back up, it will almost always have streaks of water on the outside

i think it's more peculiar that your other windows don't do this...unless im misunderstanding here

It rained yesterday and the exterior of the car, including all of the windows, were completely dry by this morning. The window only got wet when I rolled it down, and then rolled it back up so it seems that there is water that got trapped inside the door. Could this be a bad seal in the run channel?

After I wash my car, windows get wet when I roll them down.

Is it normal to happen a whole day afterwards though? =\ I don't remember if the window did it before I initially brought it in for the repair.

I guess it will depend on the weather but usually it gets dry after a few hrs. The whole day seems to be extreme IMO.

Yeah and especially considering that none of my other windows were wet after I tried doing it this morning.
