This is a common problem with various ideas to resolve including taking the car for a quick drive, using compressed air to blow it out or I have even heard of people using leaf blowers. MY17 RRS 4.4d V8 Autobiography - Aintree Green (also referred to on Topix as British Racing Green)

I usually just poke the corner of a microfibre cloth in there under the glass to soak up the potential drip 13MY Range Rover Sport Autobiography SDV6 - mine

Couple of freezer bags and some elastic bands Thumbs Up
Then give them a wipe over once you are finished washing and then clean the glass, job done

Get yourself a motorcycle dryer. Amazon do a good selection.
No more water drops anywhere on the car
