When the front doors are opened then closed, a signifigant amount of water is on the window. I believe water is being retained within the door. In cold weather, the windows froze in the closed position. After setting in the sun, the windows functioned normally, but water was evident on them after being opened. The doors froze again the next day. After a carwash or rain, the dry windows can be actuated, and are then very wet. I am concerned about the internal window components rusting.

After rain or a car wash, water stays inside the door for several days. When rolling the windows up, a film of water stays on the window, reducing visibility.
