Default Solution to window water leak...

I had the car 4 years with no problems and lots of heavy rains (Texas is known for wacky weather). Lately I have been getting a few drips of water from the top of the passenger window and falling right on the door by the triangle. I ran the hose there today and it was leaking! The water is somehow getting in through the top of the wondow and running down the inside of the rubber molding. When it gets near the triangle, it runs out of the rubber track and on to my door.

I used a dollar bill and can tell the top window is not as well sealed as the driver side. The dollar bill has just a little resistance but easily slides out. You can tell the difference when I do that test on the driver door. It looks like I may just need a window adjustment, both the pitch and height. You can tell it wasn't adjusted correctly from the factory. I am taking it to a dealer tomorrow for an adjustment.... don't know what is worse... the dealer or a water leak!

Anyone else experience this same problem or is it just me! Wind noise or water leak?

By the way, I saw a mint Karmann Ghia today on the road! Absolutely amazing. I have seen quite a few in my area... I even pass a junk yard and there is an old beat up Ghia sitting in the front waiting to be restored. I hope our cars one day become legends too!
