Annoying Window Problem hellp

My driver side or rear drivers side (not sure which one) window leaks air above 45mph. Its not like a huge leakage, but its enough for me to hear even with low music. this kind of stuff drives me nuts. is there a special liquid seal or something i can buy to end it? also i got the whole leaky trunk goin on. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks

I don't think anyone has come up with a difinitive solution to the window problems (it is common with our frameless windows) but it is on my list for this spring.

I think the weather stripping is worn away. If you put something on it to bolster it, it shouldn't be a problem anymore (or get new strips). Mine only leaks under high pressure water (like at a carwash) and it's a very small amount.

I'm guessing your window may have fallen out of alignment.

Just observe your windows... you'll notice that the glass (when all the up) actually comes in contact with the black outer plastic guard (or at least come close to it) . If you notice that one window doesn't, it means it's out of alignment.

My passenger window as out of alignment but I got it fixed by my local Acura dealership not too long ago... It was a rather pricy $98.

I have not tried it yet, waiting on my speakers so that I can do both, kill two birds with one stone.
