Well, while I was washing my car(first time, just got my car), I noticed that on both doors, moisture had gotten on the inside of the window on the vertical rubber seal, making the window look like it had fogged up on that inside seal.

I'm thinking this can't be normal but was curious if other have had this problem.

I have this same thing. I have yet to have water leak in though, and I've had my car for 5 months.

I have that too. I don't notice it when it rains. When I'm washing the car though, i just open the door and then wipe the inside window off. Had no leaks while raining or washing the car, so I wouldn't worry.

The SN95's did it too. My 99 had leak at the upper rear corners of both windows. It never rained in the car, but the moisture did get in when washing the car.

Mine does it too. I think a lot of it is not having a metal frame over the top of the door for a true seal. The strife we have for look looking doors .

But it seems to have gotten worse when I drive on cool wet days everything in my car fogs up. It's a constant toggle between defrost and regular air to keep things defogged.

Mine does it also, but it's really now big deal. My buddy who has a subaru impreza has the same style windows as us (where they lay against rubber) and his do the same thing. It's just how the set-up is, and as far as leaking or freezing up a.) I wouldn't worry about the leaking because it's impossible for water to come in substatially in order to call it a 'leak' and b.) there is not enough water underneath the edge of the window for it to cause noticeable freezing. I live in the northeast, I know. And as far a fogging up, it isn't from where the window meets the rubber, that's nearly impossible for a whole car to fog up from a little moisture that condences between the rubber and window. My point is, we have nothing to worry about and all is well!! Hope that helped and answers any forthcoming questions.

I have experienced this problem as well. I took in to the dealer who replaced some of the weather stripping but that didn't appear to do anything.

Has anyone with this problem gotten it fixed and know what the solution is?

Thanks.

Wow, old thread!

It is due to the design. Nothing to worry about unless water starts running into the vehicle.

Yep, Mine did it the first time I washed it, and every wash since... I never drive it in the rain (except once) So wouldn't know if it leaks, It doesn't look to be a big deal
