This is mainly going to concern owners living in "bad" areas, as opposed to those living in the so-called urban paradises (i.e. FL, CA...).
Each time my car has been parked for a long time outside under the rain, when I step back into it, drops of water fall from the neoprene (?) joint just above the driver's window, landing directly on the mirror adjustment button.
Has anybody experienced this?

Unlike fixed roof cars, our convertible doesn't have a drip rail to divert such drips. I don't think it's anything serious unless the mirror switch shorts out.

The only time I've gotten water inside with the windows up was in a carwash. It was tight initially but I notice several drops now every time I wash it. The pressure and direction of the spray no doubt helps.

This is normal, specially if it's raining with wind.
Everytime I wash the car I always get some water inside but nothing serious.

This happens to me all the time. I've learned to take one finger and wipe some of the water off the top edge at the top of the window before I open the door. I also keep a rag inside to wipe off any water that does drip on the inside. My wife thinks I'm anal!!!!! Ha....Ha....Just a proud stooker? It's wet in N. Alabama right now!
