Driver side window leaks when it rains.

Did anyone else have this problem and if so what did you do to fix it? I've made sure my window is fully up and the weatherstripping is not bad. I got in my car today & the seat, door handle, and floor were all wet. Any suggestions

Thanks,
Jay

I think there is an adjustment inside the door that will change the tilt of the window when it is all the way up. This would put more presure against the seal to help stop the leak.

have you tried opening the door and putting the window up than? Thats what I tried and it brought the window up just enough to stop the leak. If your window motors are worn out than they may not give enough force to seal the window with the weatherstripping. just my .2

Yeah I tried to open the door to make sure the window it goes all the up way and it does. I just replaced the window motors about a week ago and everything else seems to be fine. So as of now I have no idea.
