Cleaning side windows?

Does anyone have a good method to cleaning the side windows of these trucks? Every time I wash my truck, I let it all dry as much as possible. As soon as I roll my window down and then back up, I get streaky water marks all over it.

So does anyone have a good method of cleaning that little strip of felt/rubber at the bottom of the window?

I know this does get to be a pita everytime you clean the truck. What I can figure on doing is getting your air compressor if you have one, and blow air alongside the window molding. Thats all I can see in getting as much water out of there as you can. Or, this might sound dumb, get a hair dryer and go alongside the molding. If none of these work, I don't know what else that could be in experimentation.

I don't roll the windows down until about 4+ hours after I wash the truck.

I'll try the compressor method, and if that doesn't work, I'll try the hair dryer method.

Exactly. I don't know where America's Hat is, (honest) but in Colorado you don't need to roll your windows down in February. During the summer, the window weatherstripping is dry in 20 minutes MAX.
