Default My weather seal is leaking ever so slightly

So I drove to Roseville and back yesterday and went through rain almost the entire way there, and back.

I noticed that my weather seal on the drivers side (where the two thick pieces meet, theres a space--line there) and it's LEAKING!!

My car is almost brand new and only has 15000 miles on it.. what gives?

Any ideas/fixes? It's under warranty.. should I just take it in? I'd rather not, I hate dealerships and their incompetent 95% of the time

In Roseville.. cause all the roads are new and not porous like the shitty roads in the bay area, I was sliding all over the place, even with VSA

You can try using shinetsu grease to treat the rubber. Might help seal it.
