2008 focus - poor window seals

[douglasr]

I've never had this problem on a car before and I was wondering if anyone has the same issue.
Now that the mornings are cooler and there is a layer of dew on the outside of the front windows, lowering them does not remove it as the external seals do not touch the glass. Our previous Mk1 focus did not have this problem. I've been on to Ford and had the car in to be checked and they say there is nothing wrong. I disagree and when I'm sitting in traffic in the p*ssing rain I can hear the water trickling through the doors
Anyone else notice this ?

When you go to wind the window down , you will notice it steps in , the appliance silver zetec pool car im using does the same and so did my c-max , apparently one reason ive heard is because it saves wear on the motor , good old ford and cost cutting , always do the most obvious things

I always had to push the glass outwards against the seal while lowering the windows to clear the glass on my old mk1 focus.

Buy a squeegee!

Mine doesn't clear either, tried dropping the passenger window this morning and it didn't clear it.

haha. I have the new focus zetec S and it clears a 3" strip down the handle side of the glass...how freakin annoying. and another thing that pisses me off is when you hold the voice button and say "cd player" she promptly replys "delete playlist", "NO NO FUKIN NO i want cd player STUPID woman, OK OK ILL HAVE "RADIO" she replys "cd player", dont mean to moawn but i shouldnt hav to use reverse psycoligy to get what i want from my car, if it was my wife i cud understand... but not my car, this is where i come to get away from the wife. God help me..
p.s merry xmas.
