Leak By Mirror?

Hey all. I just bought my first 09 G37 last month and am really enjoying it so far. I bought the car and the next day I went to pick it up at the dealer. They had it on the show room floor all cleaned up and detailed. When they drove it off the show room floor and onto the lot I looked in the distance and rain was headed my way. While driving off it started to rain. I noticed when I arrived home I opened the drivers side door to get out and a little trickle of water dripped right on the tweeter (speaker). I've noticed this every time it rains. I know the G is pretty well sealed and it is but as so as you open the door I noticed this little trickle. I'm afraid eventually this might short out that speaker. I was wondering if anyone else here has noticed this?

Yep, happened on my '08 when I bought it. Take it to the dealership and they'll raise the window up a little bit more to close the seal.

You are absolutely correct. My window was making the worst wind noise on the expressway for a few weeks before I noticed the leak. It took the dealership about 5 minutes to fix it.

I have a 08 G and I had the leak on the left and right side by the tweeter after heavy downpours. I did not notice wind noise. Take it back to the dealer and they should replace the seal. I have not had any problems since the seal was replaced.
