Default Leaky windows

I have a C5 Coupe and have been having trouble with water entering around my windows. I’ve replaced all the rubber seals but still have the issue. Is there some window or door adjustment that will fix this issue?

Thanks in advance 👍🏻👋🏻

There is an adjustment of the window regulator/track inside the door that will angle the glass towards/away from the car. You’ll need to disassemble the door. The adjuster is at the bottom of the regulator towards the front of the door. It’s a bit of a process and can be tricky because you may create other alignment issues if done improperly, but I believe that is your next step. If you do a quick search on here, you’ll find a few DIYs on how to perform the task. Good luck!

Check the attached file Window Tip-in Adjustment, just did this on my convertible. Very easy to follow instruction. 15 minute job.
Thanks to Vetteman Jack for giving me this info
