Did I ruin my car/window?

My car just had its first car wash. I had a company do it. They are an auto detailing shop. 5 stars not a single negative review. Amazing kind people. When I get home I see my neighbor outside so I roll my window down to speak to him. While my window is rolling down I hear a loud squeaking sound. When I rolled it up it was the same squeaking sound. I think it's because of the water. Is this something I need to worry about? Will the sound go away?

Put the window all the way down, then empty a bag of rice in the slot. It'll dry up all of the water.

Never ever wash your car with water.

Everyone giving you shit (and rightfully so) but I get it... having a new car makes me anxious too.

Your car is fine.

User manual states you must suck the water out and also lick up any water droplets on the entire car or else the warranty is void.

Unicorn pee must be used to wash the car as well. Sounds like the 5 star detailing company screwed up that one too.
