is there any tears or holes in the rubber around the frame or is your window coming right up to meet the rubber to make a tight seal??

theres no cracks or tears but i think the window might be off a bit.
its meeting at the top of the window ok but theres a small gap down the straight part of the glass and its not touching the rubber.

if you take off the door card you will see where the window is bolted onto the scissor mechanism for the window to go up and down. check if the nuts are not loose at the bottom of the window, as the window can move if they are, meaning the window wont be tight when its up against the rubber when closed. happened to me when i bought mine. window was loose, opened it up ,two nuts missing , replaced them and all is new. tight window

the bolts tend to work loose and the window will split the triangle of rubber on the top front of the door,
happened on mine and its something i keep an eye on now
