The driver side window reuses to seal correctly. I have replaced the weatherstripping with a used one and still doesn't seal. The window glass adjustment is as far as it will go and still doesn't seal would a new weatherstrip actually fix this? I can tell that the glass has been replaced and it was done by a someone who didn't even bother to remove the broken glass from inside the door. Maybe the glass isn't installed right? I want to stop hearing road noise because it doesn't really go well with the rattling wing sound from the back of the car LOL!
 
There are several places you can adjust the glass. I think you can raise and lower it towards the bottom of the glass (including tilt fore or aft). Inwards and outwards you can adjust also.

I'm guessing you have read the repair manual and stuff?

If the weather seal is damaged, then yea replacing it might help. I don't think it will make up for a huge gap, you'd have to provide a pic if you want an opinion on that.
 
I have already tried raising it up a little and that didn't help. The adjustments in the door don't seem to go far enoiugh to make it seal. Maybe I'll take it apart again just to make sure before I take it to an auto glass or body shop.
 
Surely it can be fixed by a body shop or auto glass shop, its just a question of how much it will cost.
