When you drive the wind resistance forces the water up your front windshield... and it will drip down the side windows like that... totally normal.

I am first time see car where its "normal". never seen before.
I know physics very good and know about wind and water.
Between front windshild and door must be some long vertical caves or so wich catch water and moving it on top or bottom, but not to the window!

Is this the inside of the window? Hope that it's not because of this:

That's actually strange - because on the Convertibles, we have a built-in "gutter" in the rubber stripping on both sides of the windshield that prevent this - I assumed all Gen 2 Solaras did as well?

WHen I first got my ride I thought the rubber stripping was coming out and I'd lose my windshield before I could get it to the shop for repairs... luckily I took a closer look at it and saw it's actually molded that way - LOL! Imagine what an asss I'd feel like if I took it in! :o

Normal. Even though the Solara has gutters, rain and washer fluid still manage to get on the side windows.

I think we have the weakest gutter system. And the Ukraine looks like Queens, NY on a good day. Only with better road pavement. :D
