Water coming in from front triangle glass

Took my car to a no touch car wash thursday and noticed that water was coming in right at that little plastic verticle piece on the front d/s window that is between the main window and the little one that doesn't open. Anyone else have any issues like this?

This is the small window on the door, correct?

I've never noticed it on my car and I go to touch less carwashes a few times a month in the winter. I'd take a look at the seals around it and then take it to the dealer.

I looked at all the seals around it and they looked fine, but there was definitely some water coming in.

If you spray the windows with high pressure water, water will go in. It states in the manual somewhere. That's the nature of frame less windows I guess?

I had this issue and after four trips to the dealer I think it's finally resolved. The leak was on the passenger side and didn't start until this past November. The dealer accomplished the window tsb, replaced the small triangle window, and then replaced the main upper seal. Unfortunately I have not taken it through my normal touch less wash yet to make sure it's 100% fixed, it seemed fine after a hand wash though.

Going to run it through the car wash on a nicer day again and see if it does it again. If it does I'll have it looked at.
