Default Another Wind Leak Question

I cannot for the life of me seem to get rid of the wind leak coming in my passenger side window. I have a 2000 coupe and it leaks where the top, windshield and window meet. I have made adjustment after adjustment and just cant get it to go away. Anyone else have this problem or have a solution?

have you softened the seals up with some dielectric grease? seemed to do the trick for me

(bulp grease- autozone .35 cents)

also , i didnt notice a leak when i got my corvette
then i had one
then i took the top off and noted there was a very small hole-full embedded inside part of the seal ....cleaned it out or ensured it was ok once the lid went back done, sorted!


....then again, its been fairly dry lately ...

I havent tried the grease yet but Ive heard of that before. Does anyone have any other ideas or maybe the factory specs on the window adjustments?
