where is your leak at? Several ways depending on where it is at. Could be a window adjustment, new window mouldings. Mine leaked where the top sets on the windhield. So I went cheap and glued in some weather stripping from HD there and works great. You dont even know it is there.
Good luck

I'd start with the free fix by adjusting the window tip in. PM me if you cant find it with a search and I'll send you the How To.
The other cheap fix is to lubricate the door seals with dielectric grease.
If that fails I think I'd try replacing the seals. Thats $$$$ though
After that it'll be complicated.

YEP - Tip in/out adjustment is a place to start...
I adjusted the vertical seals that contact the rear windows and mine stopped leaking.
You can tweak/bend the seals inner metal support out to create a better seal between it and the window (a little bit goes a long ways).
Hope this helps...
