The passenger side window on my S1 doesn't quite meet the seal part of the hood. I can see the gap into the car so obviously this is where the water is getting in. the gap is on the front part of the top of the window.

i can't imagine that water sitting in the car (on the seat, sill, floor) is going to be doing it much good. would some silica gel packs be a good idea to absorb some of the moisture??

is there a stock cure for the leak? do i need to re-align the windows? is this easy to do?

the driver's side also has a small leak and it on on the rear part of the top of the window but it's not as bad as on the passenger's side.

thanks in advance

Can be a PITA. Mine aren't perfect, so I put a couple of bar towels on the sill on the inside. Even if it rains heavily then they catch 99% of what comes in. That said if it rains heavily I also have an elemental shower cape which means 0% comes in
