Default Anyone had problems with touchless car washes? Water got inside my coupe on the passenger side.

Never happend before and I've been through tons of car washes, rain and snow storms. Its a new car wash that I decided to try out. Water came in on the top of the glass. Glass was sealed pretty well, I checked after I got out of the wash and it was right up against the frame, just like the driver's side. I'm guessing that the car-wash jets where aimed just "right" to blow the water through the spot where glass meets weather stripping. Anyone had this problem? Any way to adjust the glass to get a tighter seal?

Default No.

Maybe you have to stick with hand wash.

Default My passenger door has a slightly imperfect seal between the window and upper seal...

I could take it to the dealer to get it adjusted but I'm sure it would be a $200+ job which I dont feel like paying right now. Like you, I dont experience leakage during rain storms but I will get it if high water pressure is sprayed directly on the seal. If you have the same issue, you probably hear slight wind noise while driving on that window like I do. It can be fixed, but it's usually not worth doing it.
