rain makes window stop

My rear driver side window doesn't work when it rains or after I wash the car. Its fine like a week after it rains, but when the car gets wet it doesn't come down for like a week. Has anyone else had this problem. Its still under full warranty, so I'll probably take it to the dealer this week. Holla. 2002 White SE.

Take it to the dealer and have them look into moisture causing an electrical short until it dries.

Also when it rains and the windows dry up, if I wind my windows down, and bring them back up, they are wet again. Like water is getting down under the rubber in the door. Is this normal?

Are we talking soaked or just the wetness caused by the weatherstrip 'squeegee-ing' water back onto the glass?

Have them check the door/window seals while it is there. In any case, I would get this looked at as soon as you can so as to not have water sitting inside the door for extended periods causing long term damage.
