You guys can fix everything, so I might as well ask.

If posting all these msg's is annoying, I'd like to say I think this is the last one for a bit.
The problem is this. On the passanger side, the door leaks if it rains. It leaks right where the windows meets the Black support at the front of the windows. It doesn't leak much, but it leaks down to the floor, and I don't want it to rust. Any Idea of which area would need adjustments? The stripping by the windshild looks fine(same as the other side). Anyone else seen this and got it fixed?
Thanks in advance... And I will now stop bugging everyone... for now
L8r,

There's a seal there that wears out. It is replaceable. I don't have the part number handy, but I may be able to dig it out.
I have seen them in the Classic Industries Camaro book, too.
They aren't very expensive.

Jay,
It's also possible that the door is hanging lower than it should. The hinge pins and bushings could be worn. This will not only cause the door to sag slightly when opened, but can cause the door to sit a little lower in the opening when closed.
There is an adjustment for the window travel as well, both front and rear ends of the glass. You would have to remove the interior door trim to access these adjustments, and if the seal is suspect, you should replace that first. If a good seal doesn't cure the problem, try adjusting the glass stop poition a little higher.
Another possibility is that the top is distorting from torque on the body. Hard acceleration and cornering will cause the body to flex, as will any impact damage. If your car has been in an accident or subjected to hard launches and clutch-dumping, the body might not gauge like it should, creating fitment problems at places like the doors and hatch.
