Window tip in adjustment
This is a common window adjustment. If you are in warranty and trust your dealer, ask them to adjust the window (per service manual directions). If not, you can do it your self after you read the service manual "window tip in adjustment" instructions.

Window tip-in adjustment...
Try the adjustment below. Might help and is very easy to do. Don't worry about the inverted torx, a small 6pt socket works fine.
From the manual:
Window Tip-In Adjustment - Door
Tools Required
#6 Inverted TORX® Socket
1. Position the window fully up.
2. Remove the large access plug from under the front of the door.
3. Loosen the window regulator front channel mounting nut.
4. Remove the reflector from the trim panel
5. Loosen the jack screw jam nut.
6. Adjust tip in with the jack screw.
* Turn the jack screw clockwise to tip the window outward.
* Turn the jack screw counterclockwise to tip the window inward.
* One turn of the screw equals approximately 1 N•m (0.04 in) change at the
top of the window.
7. Tighten the jack screw jam nut.
8. Lower the window.
9. Tighten the window regulator channel front mounting nut.
10. Raise the window and check the alignment.
11. Install the access plug under the front of the door.
12. Install the reflector in the door trim panel.
check to insure that the weatherstripping on the top is seated correctly on the targa bar.
