My windows don;t seem to like to seal well. If I close the door with them all the way up they seal well, but if i roll them down and then roll them back up they dont seal well at all. THey have a noticeable gap in the back, largest near the top, and it gets smaller as the window gets closer to the door.. but its still there all the way down. In the front (as it slopes towards the top) it doesnt seal either. I know it doesnt seal because water leaks in there.

Is there a window adjustment that i can do to stop this problem, or would i be best taking it to a dealer and having them solve the problem?
 
Yes, there are fine adjustments that you can make to the window. You will have to pull the door panel and water/vapor barrier off the door. You should notie bolts that are holding the window regulator tot he door frame. You can loosen and adjust the tilt of the window there.
 
Is that the same window regulator that you tighten to solve the window rattle.... or is it the one at the top that is adjusted by using allen wrenches?
