I've only taken my car through an automatic car wash once, and it was touch-free. I don't recall any leaking (I would have noticed), but the car has only been bucket/hand washed ever since.
I think it's part of the ten commandments or something, "Thou shalt not take Corvette to an automatic car wash".

I never use an automated car wash....I wash the car myself. That said, when washing the car or in heavy rainfall it does not leak.
Are you sure your windows are indexing all the way up?

I would almost bet the windows aren't indexing properly... especially since it's on both sides. Highly unlikely both windows could be leaking unless the windows aren't indexing............

Wouldn't hurt to reindex the windows. Here's how.
Raise the window and hold the up switch an extra 3 seconds. Release. Without lowering the window, hold the up switch again for 3 seconds. Release. Done.
This is called resetting of the window indexing or power window initialize and is in the owner's manual. See page 2-17 of the 2005 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2006 owner’s manual, page 87 of the 2007 owner’s manual, page 2-18 of the 2008 owner’s manual.
