I have had the same problem...finally found a fix! You need to put some type of weatherstripping/foam on top of your door surrounds. I went to NAPA and bought the foam that people line the top of their truck beds with prior to putting a cap on...cushions the top and protects the metal from getting scratched. It was $8.99
The bad news is the sticky backing is not that sticky and I am sure will come off! I plan to just run a bead of crazy glue gel under it...you can always get it off if need be later with a blade and goo gone. I did this last week prior to the big rain/storm that was blowing across the country and stayed bone dry! There may be more detailed instructions on here somewhere, as that is where I got the idea...but hey it works!

The best fix for mine was when I took it to a shop and they stuck a piece of 2x4 in the door and reamed on the top corner.
He rolled down the windows, placed a piece of board in the door and pushed in the top right corner... little to no leaking since (they did this around last November).
