Default Driver window leak

My 2002 Coupe has leaked since I got it 3 years ago and I am tired of getting wet.

I have adjusted the window in as far as it will go but it still "sits on" the weatherstripping rather than "in" the weatherstripping. There is no blow-out clip on the drivers side (looks like it was broke off before I got it). Would that help? I know it is a stupid question, but...


If this is what I need, where can I find a blow-out clip?


Thanks,

Mike

Sorry for my English, I'm from Europe, but I'll try to descripe. I had that same problem. Water is coming from the point where the roof stripping meets the door stripping, turned out to be the roof pin/clamp did not close properly, I just put a piece of paper between that little iron ring, so that it would be tighter when you close it
