Does this look correct? (window triangle)

I replaced all the weather stripping on the passenger side of my car, but I still get wind noise. I'm really annoyed because that's why I bought new weather stripping. The triangle seals are from metro, but I don't know where the a pillar window seal is from, it was part of a kit from hawks.

Everything looks off. The window should be sitting in that groove on the weatherstripping. I think you need to adjust the window a bit.

I've adjusted the window every way I can think of. If I adjust inward anymore, the window won't roll up and there is a .3" gap between the window and the outer sweep. Even then, it didn't sit in the groove.

i agree that it doesn't look right, i have been playing with my windows a lot lately. the triangle doesn't look like it is up in the groove enough. THere are 4 adjustments on the bracket that holds the triangle. The two bolts on top can go in and out put also move the two bolts on the inner door structure up and down.

Looks like the window is crooked in the groove... Try adjusting the rear OUT and the front triangle IN. The triangle definitely needs to come in about an 1/8 inch or more, and if the window won't roll up, you need to adjust the rear to get it in the right spot. Start with getting all of the bolts aligned with the marks made at the factory (they're obvious) and work from there as necessary to fix the window alignment.
