Roof leaking on passenger side

So I was driving home from Salisbury today and noticed my passenger seat was wet. Wiped it off with my hand and then I looked down a few minutes later and it was wet again.
After getting home I check and noticed water was dripping from the A pillar area.

I opened the door and it appears to be leaking where the roof meets the A pillar/window seal.

I'm assuming it happened during the cold weather but anyone have any idea how to fix this?

" I opened the door and it appears to be leaking where the roof meets the A pillar/window seal."

Given your 1st picture, I agree and believe both of those seals are questionable and need to be replaced.

Until you have this issue under control consider using "never wet" in that generally area of your top. With a little luck the never wet, will prevent the water from coming into the car until you can truly ID the source of the problem.

There are a lot of videos on youtube on "Never Wet"
 
The way the weather strip and roof fabric sit just looks all sorts of wrong.
Something badly out of alignment there.

Thanks for the reply mate. Sorry, which parts are they? I don't get why only one side would be leaking if it's out of alignment. It's also not been driven much and only started recently so definitely hasn't been hit or anything. I was thinking of opening and closing the roof but with the weather this bad I was afraid of doing it incase the cold had did some damage to the motor or something and I'd be stuck with it open..

I've stuck the cover on it for now to keep it dry but I'll look into this stuff. Cheers!
