Default Molding

My driver and passenger side windows leak when I go through a touchless car wash. The window appear to seat properly when i roll em up but they leak pretty bad. The molding is in excellent condition. Whats up. Is it just the pressure of the water jets

Put something behind the molding to help it seal better, ie. Putty, anything soft that can mold to the window/seals

Go to Autozone and pick up a tube of weather stripping putty. It almost like clay black in color. Ask a friend to light up a fat cigar and sit inside your car with the AC full blast and the windows up. Tell him to blow smoke around the edges and mark the spots where smoke leaks with painters tape. Then come back with the putty behind the weather stripping in the leaky spots and an inch or two longer on each side. This should take care of your problem.
