After I wash my car, if I roll down my windows and then back up againk, they get all wet, therefore waterspots form, and then I have to dry them off every time. Any ideas on how to fix that?

I have the same thing for the newxt few hours after washing my car. One advice - don't roll your windows down after a wash for the next few hours.
I have the same thing on all our family cars.
 
Just thought of something, you could also use a hairdryer on the strip that touches the window's. May take a few minutes but it should work.
 
I going to have to add another one of those, dont roll down your wndows.

The water gets in that little peice of plastic, with a cloth like material on the back, The water just needs to dry. I guees you could also just carry around a mf and dry them everytime yoiu play with your windows
 
Water gets in the 'felt'(?) window guide in the door below the rubber wiper. Thats part of what its there for (it also keeps the glass from rubbing on metal), to ensure the seal so the water does not get down in the door with all of our buttons, window motors and other things electrical.
Leave it alone. If you damage it you will have scrape marks on the glass instead of water spots.
If you must, run the window up and down a couple of times wiping excess off each time. You still will not get it all
 
Yepp, keep the windows up. I try not to roll my windows down ever, i use the door insted. Only roll it down if i really really have too.

Thanks for the help guys. I carry around a MF whenever I drive anyways, just incase of spills or other things.

You've got to do it once in a while. Otherwise you have that nice dirty strip running all along the top of the window from never washing it.
 
I do that when i wash.

I have kids, so washing the windows is done more often than the carwash.
 
Not only agree, but have first hand experience with what JSR said. Every time I'd wash the car my remote control lock/unlock, security would act like it was wired in reverse. The car dealer had to call Nissan National who said that the only other time that they had seen that problem was from a guy that was washing his car with a pressure washer. I wasn't but I did put a lot of water on my car to keep waterspots down. So any way the culprit was water running into the door. They took the doors apart, dried out the insides, and no more problems.
 
Grim, what do you mean about you've got to do it once in awhile? Do what?
 
Hes saying you have to roll the windows down every once in awhile or else youll have dirt on the top of the window.
