Default Window adjustment?

I have air leaks in both back corners of my windows. They don’t seem to leak water during rain, only when it with high pressure. I have raised them and tipped them in to no avail. I think the whole window needs to move back. Is there an adjustment for this or do you have to loosen the window clamps and slide the whole window back? Thanks!

It could also be the weather stripping. The elasticity of the rubber goes down over the years. Take some spray wax on a towel an rub into the rubber and then wipe off. That will help create a good seal.
