Good advice all. I get some water in on the passenger side in heavy rain from time to time. To me it looks like the window does not seal properly with the top at the rear part of the window. I remember reading a post a while ago about adjusting the window travel to make a better seal. Anyone remember the thread?

Ed:

If you think water is coming in through the top of the window because it's not sealing properly, you can adjust the final point to which the window will travel by raising the window glass bracket via its adjustment screw (torx screw).

You can access the adjustment screws (two of them, one on the front leg and one on the rear leg of the window regulator) through an access hole on the bottom horizontal surface of the door shell. There are rubber plugs that you have to pull out and then you can stick your torx screw driver in there with the window at its lowest position to make the adjustments, front and back.

I wrote this up on RennTech a while ago. If I find the link I'll post it here.

Regards, Maurice.
