This is a trouble spot on a lot of these cars. I'd suggest contacting an auto 
glass shop and see if they can sell you a tube of an appropriate caulking 
material that you could use all around the outside edge of the seal. There will 
probably be a different caulk depending on whether the leak is between the seal 
and the body or the seal and the glass. Whichever it is, you really want to 
seal it ALL THE WAY AROUND.

AT least for the gap between the seal and the body, you can lift the lip of the 
seal and put the caulk UNDER that lip, so the repair is almost invisible.
