I have an 03 gt convert and I noticed today that the window on the driver side has a space between it and the mini back window.  How do you fix something like that?

It's a big enough gap that the interior will get pretty wet if I were to take it to the car wash.

It's not the mini window that's the problem, it's the big window. And yes I have to force it each time I close it.  I just wanted to actually fix it so I don't have to force it.

I've never seen that one before??
So what you are saying is that the space is between the rear mini window and the front big window and it's a vertical space, kind of like the mini window did not swing up far enough?
Is the space even from top to bottom or wider at the top and less as it goes into the body of the car?
What makes you believe it's the big window?

The big window just goes veritcal up and down on tracks which AFAIK are fixed, meaning the space would be the same width from top to bottom.
It's the mini window which completes the seal depending upon how far it pivots up and down.

This is very difficult to describe BTW

Any chance you can post a pic?

Yeah I'll post a pic tonight.  The gap is smaller at the bottom and get progressively bigger at the top, to the point where I can stick my whole finger through the gap.
