Rain on INSIDE of window
Not sure if this is to be expected, especially with a frameless window, but after a hard rain, I will put my windows down, and when I put them back up, they are very squeaky and have some water and condensation on the inside. Not a big deal. Is this within normal operating parameters, or something I should have my dealer look at?

Same with me except! its so LOUD!! only passenger.... the driver side is a lil squeaky. Iv been wondering if I should take it to the dealer and have them check it out.
Btw... When the window is dry and i put it down and up, it seems to me that something is rubbing or pushing up against it. It leaves some streaks and it bugs me especially when I just washed the car...

I get it on the outside after a wash, but not the inside. If you put the window down, the inside weatherstripping may get wet and then streak the inside of the window as it goes back up.
Is there a door drain on these cars? Probably. I'd check the bottom of the door to see if it's stopped up, and make sure your weatherstripping looks snug to the window.

Got it, got rid of it.
After washing the MINI roll the windows down. Wipe the window seal trim where it contacts the window glass. I considered using a rubber protectant on them, but figured it would leave worse streaking. Mildly soapy cleaning rag did the trick.
The seal keeps keeps the interior of the door itself clean and dry while the window is up. Kinda like a windshield wiper for the side window. Rubber gets dry on them, same as the windshield wipers.
Oh yeah, don't ever roll the windows down and then drive off after a rain. Nice way to take a shower in the MINI.
