Default Passenger Window Water Leak

Hi. After going to the car wash, and sometimes after it rains, the passenger side window of my 2003 350Z (Enthusiast) leaks . I took it to a Nissan dealer and they said it's the water pressure from the car wash and it's a common problem with the 350z. The problem is the driver's side window doesn't leak, and I haven't been able to find any posting about this problem. So now every time I go to the car wash I have to bring something along to wipe the water off my leather. Well, I'm tired of "living with it" (as the dealer put it). Has anybody experienced this problem? Can it be fixed? Any idea on how much it costs? Thanks.

Mine is doing the same thing pretty bad. Actually, my whole floor mat is soaked from last nights rain. I am going into the dealer on Monday. Hopefully they can get this fixed while they do my fuel hose recall..

It's not a perfect fix, but I've found that cleaning the rubber window seal and then conditioning it with something like Armor-all does help a bit in sealing the window against the rubber. Eventually, I will try replacing the rubber seal.

I would think they need to adjust the window. My car had been broken into and after the repair the dirver side leaked a bit under pressure. I took it to the body shop and they fixed it within a few hours. Never asked what they did but I'm sure they just adjusted the window.

mine is dribbling in about where the roof goes from the windsheild pillar to the roof.
both sides.
I think there is some crud there, maybe rust but looking into it.
the window touches the seal for the doors and in the bend is some crud
