Weather strips issue?

I have an 05 g35 and when i drive it on the drivers side you can hear air coming through on the top left of the door. I'm thinking it might be that top weatherstrip but I'm not sure. What do you guys think, I'd really apreciate some feedback, thanks !

Pull it around and lube it up to make sure the window slides in well, and then check again. After that GL.

More than likely the window is out of adjustment as the window can be adjusted to move inward and outward. You will also get leaks if your window isn't parallel with the weatherstrip which is another adjustment.

A long time ago I heard of a trick to repair weatherstripping, but I've never had the cajones to try it.

Basically you open the door, put silicone on the weather stripping where you need it, IMPORTANT: then apply vaseline to your window, close the door and let it set. Open the door (hopefully the vaseline worked!) trim the excess and viola! Jobs done.

As I said, I was always too scared to try it, but it seems like it would work.
