side mirrors drip water after a hand wash..?

every single time I wash my civic and finish shaming it dry. I get a constant
driping of water coming down from both side mirrors for the next 2 days..?
seems the side mirrors are holding water. why? is there a gasket issue with the side mirrors that I don't no about on the 8th gen civics.? am I alone with this issue.? or any of You experienced this as well.?

It's not a problem.
It's an annoyance (big time), but not a real problem.

Drill a hole in the bottom of the mirror for the water to drain.
