You have about a half inch adjustment that can be made.

First lower your window halfway

Remove your door panel (search stuck window for instructions)
Remove your speaker
Remove the black overlay (you can't miss it)
You will see where the window is clamped into the regulator (both front and back)
A 10mm bolt secures the clamp (one on the front of the window and one on the back) and you will see the height adjust there...about 1/2 inch up or down.

Loosen bolt and set adjustment same for front and back

Be careful if you over adjust it will put undue stress on your regulator and motor.
It should be adjusted to hit the regulator window stops the same time the window gets a good seal.

Mine are adjusted in the middle of the adjustment front and back and the seal is good
