Slight water leak

Slight water leak
I noticed that I have a small leak on the driver's side window where the hood meets the window right on the corner (if you look the window is almost sticking up next to the rubber and hood.
Only noticed a small trickle of water which ran down the inside of the window when I wash it ending up on the window sill - no biggie
Got back in today after it was parked up in rain all day and as soon as I opened the door a load of water spilt in - think this is due to the channel that collects the rain being where the door sits so when I opened it there was a bit built up? I then closed the door and then had a load of dripping onto my right leg but was unsure whether it was dripping die to the current rain or the built up water that had fallen in when I opened the door...
I hope its the latter as it hasn't dripped more than a trickle down the window in the past....
Anyone had anything similar? any little tricks for improving the seal right at the corner of roof, door and window?
Cheers

I was having some problems with small leaks until I got my hands on some Seaman Sub grease. Think theres also the Shinitsu grease which you can get from Honda. Both stop the rubber seals getting brittle and letting in water. Other option could be adjusting the mechanism, but I wouldnt know where to start there...

I had a little leak and the shin etsu is really good. About 12 quid for a tube from Honda parts people but would reckon it will last for ever as you dont need much.
All hale Shin Etsu

I had the same problem too but on both sides but also where the rubbers meet halfway along the windows.....had a few drops there too, was wondering what was dripping on my shoulder !!!
Might try that Shin Etsu stuff.
The seals where put to their test yesterday I tell thee !!!!
