Hi James,

The steering column/electronics can handle small amount of water or splash of wate so you dont have to worry about that. I assume you pulled over right away when you notice that rain pouring to the steering wheel, right? You can use a hair blower to dried the water inside the steering buttons but do not place the blower near to the buttons just place it enough to dry out the surface and underneath it and you shoud good to go. 

For the windshield, it would be best to have the windshield resealed. Looks like the amount of rubber seals that was used there is not enough to cover the entire column, reason why water can still penetrate inside. 

Let me know if you have further questions.
