Ive been getting some leaking during a rainstorm over my driver side door. Its where the black weatherstripping is right over the window. Our good old frameless windows are prone to leaking, but what can i do to stop it. I dont like getting up to go to work in the morning and have a wet seat. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

i found that my gasket that runs along the A pillar and t top can get rolled a bit and that causes it to leak real bad, it some how pulls its self off that metal strip that runs up the middle of it, that's what found at lest. i just pop it back in place and its fine.

Try silicone fluid on the seals.

stretch the seal by hand. Where it connects at the T-Top and A pillar, Stretch the rubber(s) together and it will seal better. That works for me.
Also make sure lock is locked tight. The drivers side door latch doesn't seem to close as well as the passengers side door latch.

I have the same problem but my seal is all chewed up. Do you know if you can get replacement seals?http://www.geocities.com/coold618/mycarcomparision.jpg

Maybe you have to re-adjust your window, because it fits not correct at the upper sealing.

New seals are $150 ea. or so from nissan - I have a drivers side one - its in decent shape - I thought that was causing my leak and replaced it but its because the doors doesn't line up.....
Make an offer.

Funny, I did that to 3 cars, including mine. To properly adjust it is to use 2 people.
