Eh.....We do HPDEs in the rain with both windows fully down. Does suck a little bit, but a good wipedown cleans everything up. Unless the thing will be sitting like that for days/weeks and water significantly pools somewhere bad, but a few minutes in the store with the windows cracked isn't going to cause long term issues.

(EDIT: More than a few minutes...see OP's update below)

I'm pretty sure we've all done something similar. Not any of my toy cars but the work ride or suv etc via the ol moon roof or side window.

A guy i worked with went theough the car wash with his moonroof open in an expedition... or i should say the expedition went through solo. That was an issue lol.
