Hey i recently noticed my drivers side window leaks when it rains n when i was my car i was wondering what it coukd be because my windows are up properly so im guessing its that rubber strip thats screwed if its leaking am i right?? Or is it a bigger problem?

where's it leaking at?
top, front half, or rear half.
if it's the top, most likely the rubber.
If it's the back, then the window is not slotting in properly under the rubber lip.
if it's the front, then your window may not be seated properly, or again, just the rubber.
just be thankful you don't have a targa top with old rubbers.

Its all over the top of the drivers side on the rubber on the inside that squishy black rubber so maybe the window isnt slotting in properly =| oh i dunno i just want it fixed!! Who would be a good person to take it to? A mechanic or bitsamissing?? Or bennoz lmfao

when you close your door, can you see a distinct gap at the rear of the window (B pillar), big enough to fit your finger tips inbetween?
If so, then when you're closing the door, the glass is getting stuck on the lip around the roof.
This is causing the whole window to not seal, and will make it leak.
Check the rear of the glass as it's the most obvious gap seen.

Nope its not that then it must be the rubber. At the moment its only a small amount of water getting in when it rains but when i was my car my seat seems to get quite damp... So its prob the rubber then

I had a similar issue man.
Just play with your door adjustment and it should fix it.
Just keep playing with it till it lines up

I found my door was sitting slightly more out than normal.
Open up your door and look at where the door latches onto, there should be 2 screws holding that metal piece on.
Undo the screws until there is play (don't undo them all the way) and move the piece around to where you think it should be. Tighten screws and close door. If it isn't right, redo an adjust as needed

Get the world's strongest mechanic to tighten up the screws or they will come loose again

If I wanted anymore sh*t outta you lot, I'd squeeze ya f#cken heads!
And FYI, for mega hard to do up screws, get an impact driver.
There's nothing more satisfying than doing up a screw with a big hammer
