Default Leaking at top and bottom!!!??

So I took my car to the car wash to rinse of the pollen that has collected on the car since its last detail last week. I rinsed it off, then 'spot free' rinsed that water off. I get into my car and notice that above the door handle/lock area, theres some water laying there. Theres also water that is coming from below the bottom door speaker on each side of the door. What is causing the water to come inside the cabin? Bad weatherstripping? Its equal amount of water on both sides. Ive seen a few threads regarding similiar issues, but nobody has said anything about it being fixed. Anyone fix this issue? Car is out of warranty by the way. Below is a picture of the areas where water comes in at. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same thing happens to mine whenever I go through an automatic car wash. No much you can do when you have that much water pressure being forced on your Z. Never happens when I hand wash it.

Are the windows self-adjusting after you close your door?

Yes, thank you that's the term I was looking for. Never had this happen from just rain, I hope you find the solution.

It doesnt come thru in a drizzling rain, only a constant hard rain. Heres a video of another guys problem that is almost identical to mine, only the water doesnt come thru the speaker grille like this guys does. Doesnt come thru as fast either.

Have you done any work on the tweeter sail panels? I have the same water problem on the driver's side. I had some work done Z a long time ago, and later discovered that they had not put together that part correctly. I can actually see that it is not snapped into place perfectly. And I can actually hear some wind noise from it when on the highway (and everything else quiet). I just never got around to fixing this.
