Default Water leakage driverside window

hi. I managed to find the water leakage. I took a closer look and the water comes in from the driverside windows. There is some rubber seal which is not perfectly aligned. So even when it rains it drips down into the trunk. The rubber piece is between back window and front window. I am trying to push it into original position without any luck. So, any hints on what to do? The seal is on the inside. Like a rubber piece hanging down a bit. Shall I go bananas with a silicone gun? Take it to a glass repair dealer?

NO!

This repairable by re-alignment of the door glass. Either an auto-glass repair shop or the dealer can fix this easily. It involves removing the inner door panel and adjusting the way the glass runs in the tracks. Or the way the tracks line up with the door.

Nice. Thanks mate for the quick answers. I will take it to a window repairer in the morning. I'll let you know how it is progressing.

I do not think he means that bit of seal, I think he means the piece that sits against the door frame, the lowest part of the seal.
Pictures would be helpful and starting a new thread is not good as the original question is lost and unless you have seen it you do not know what the answer is for. It's in the wrong forum anyway.

I had a passenger window leak near the little triangle. Had to bring it back to the dealer a few times because they didn't fix it right the first time. Turns out the window needed an adjustment in the height and the pitch. Now no water! That is the problem with frameless windows.

Don't panic. It is a simple window adjustment and don't let them tell you otherwise. If they don't fix it the first time keep bringing it back. They best way to adjust it is in little steps. A little adjustment here and there.... if it still leaks make another adjustment. The best way is an adjustment a little at a time.
