Vert window leak
When I first brought the car home, the passenger window had a tiny "drip, drip" kind of leak. In the last week, or so - it has become a "dribble" kind of leak with just washing the car.
It seems to be right at the spot in the weather stripping where the top folds (so the weather stripping is split there). Do I dare take this into the dealer?
The window seems to be tight (toe in) and high enough - and it seems like the weather stripping just isn't laying right. Any ideas?

Re: Vert window leak (KzooGTX)
First try sliding the weatherstrips forward (or backward) there is movement.
Then "lube" lightly the weathers with die-electric grease.
Lastly, as I recall, some metal brackets can be bent and spacers installed to bring a tighter seal. A very/ very slow drip I would classify as normal.
The factory service manual offers more precise guidance.
Dealerships......use sparingly.
