Hi, on my new used 981 I've noticed that dry windows turn into wet windows when fully down and the up.
There was a rain several hours ago same day.
Is this normal or are seals likely broken?
I don't remember seeing similar behaviour on my previous 981/987's
Thanks.

How much water would you say? 987's always had an issue where there was some water/grease smudging from a soft layer touching the glass when it was down. I'd imagine it is the same thing. It'd hazard a guess that this is what you are seeing.

Could be door card membranes - are the door cards wet? Or drains - are the carpets under the seats wet? Plenty of advice regarding both on boxa.net

I don’t get this on my 981S so suggest it isn’t normal and you are getting water ingress through a poor seal and/or blocked drain hole.
