Window
I got an issue with my passenger side window.
So basically the driver side window will roll all the way up and connect with the seals on the t-tops.
The passenger side, however, will roll up most of the way but then stop just short of the seal, leaving a small crack that allows water and other stuff to get in. The crack is very small, but it can still allow water to get in.
I've taken it to a mechanic, but he has checked the internals of the door, and he couldn't find anything wrong with the mechanism itself.
Please help.

There are stops that control how high the window rolls up. You may need a better mechanic or a body shop.
You could also look in the body section of the factory service manual for your year and adjust it yourself.

As suggested, pull the door panel and look for the 2 window stops. Normally there are philips screws, one for each stop that you loosen, put the window up where it needs to go then push down on the stops. Pretty simple. And if that is what was wrong it would be time to find another mechanic. Also as suggested. Good luck.
