Default Dealer fixed my leak over the doors

Took them four tries but today with allot of rain everything is dry inside no puddles or wet door locks . From what i can see and what they told me doors adjusted, some butyl in the weather strip, little flap of rubber that is there cut into a v to drain the water, some flashy stick on stuff under the corner of the right side header channel. Now if it lasts time will tell. The squeaky clutch another issue started again today on tip in another trip to the dealer i suppose.

Can't really take any pictures of the door adjustment but there are several picture floating around of the sticky backed weatherstrip type stuff on here. The butyl they squeezed in behind the weather strip stiffened it up so the strip makes tighter contact to the door frame when the door is closed can't see it but you can feel it in several places. I think it just takes the right amount of playing with it to get it right to fix the leaks. On a side note my dealer only has indoor parking from their vehicles since they are in town it's basically like a huge parking garage i noticed mine only leaked in the rain when parked not while driving or washing. I had them park it outside and let it get cold then try to fix my leak since if it was in the sun on a warmer day it didn't leak i think that was the cure because if it was in my garage or warmed up it didn't leak just when it was able to sit in the cold while raining and i just got a few drips over an 9 1/2 hr period.
