I am wondering about the sentence "rain drops roll down the windows". I think that heart of the sentence is to roll down. How can a non-native determine whether it is a phrasal verb or idiom or both? From the link I concluded two possibilities. First it might mean that rain drops put their tracks when they go down the window like they become longer as explained in 2 or they pile up at the bottom of the window, sliping down.
