BMW Z4 3.0SI wind noise and leaking drivers side window

I'm having a minor problem with the drivers side window seal.
I noticed at the end of the summer that the wind noise had increased heavily when driving with the roof up.
It also seems to be leaking in water when it is raining outside.
When driving and putting the hand near the window i can actually feel the drag.
It seems to be coming from the seal in front of the window at the door, which seals against the roof/front window when the door is closed.

Is this a common problem and is there an easy fix?
Is it possible to "refresh" the rubber?
There are no visible problem with the seals.
 
there are some adjustments under the door. search bar is your friend :thumbsup:

there you go :thumbsup:

Will have a look at that this weekend!

The interesting thing is that i think this happend out of nowhere where i had the window down and then pushed it back up, when the window was at the up position it started to sound like it was "leaking".
 
I will have a look at this tomorrow!
But is there a way of checking the health of the regulator?
If the regulator is going bad it would suck to spend time on adjusting the window, then just having to redo the adjustment and replacing the regulator withins weeks..

Yes that was posted before.
But that does only cover how to adjust the window, not how to check the regulator if it is going bad.
