Default Window seal gap

Hi friends, hoping you can help. The driver side window seal on my C7 leaks a little water (and air). It's definitely coming from the point where the A-pillar and the roof seals meet (see photo). The A-pillar seal on the driver side looks to be slightly out of place such that it doesn't adequately overlap the roof seal. Any suggestions for how to adjust it so that it seals tight like the passenger side? Or, is it easy enough to just replace?

Note that I've re-indexed the window and it hasn't made any difference.

Looks like D/S seal is slightly miss-aligned. You may try just a tiny dab of clear silicone prior to going through the effort and expense of replacing seals.

Anything you do would only serve as applying a temporary band-aid. You need a permanent fix. You should bring it in to the dealer. The body shop will be able to remove the weather stripping and reinstall. While you're at it get both sides of the vehicle done. It's no big deal to reinstall the weather stripping. Is it still under warranty?
