Nearside rubber roof seals

Hi, I have owned my E85 for 2 years and as far as I can remember, the nearside has always been prone to letting in more road noise. I recently washed the roof and really soaked the roof. Even though the door was closed, I found droplets on the inside, on inspection, window when closed does not seat as well as the other side. I have tried the gummy solution to soften the rubber but not really making a difference. Is there anything else I can try or is it a case of buying new rubber seals. When I part opened the roof, it looked to be in 3 sections.

Does anyone know the part numbers and costs.

Thanks
 
Is your door absolutely flush with the rear 1/4 panel? I had some wind noise I was able to reduce by adjusting the door latch.

Have you run the window reset procedure recently?
 
There's also adjustment of the window itself. Details in the how to section. I've been meaning to do mine for ages as mine also lets a couple of drops of water in when washing, but I haven't got around to it yet.
 
I shall have to look into those options. I did adjust the latch and it did reduce the road noise but at the expense of taking the door in too much. Will need to revisit when the weather is better.
