Annoying leak

Noticed a bit off a damp patch on front and left rear floorpan, removed all carpet to get to the bottom of the issue and realised water coming in from left front and rear door aperture (not a lot but anything matters) seals appear more than reasonable however comparing left doors to right although everything shuts properly and nicely it would appear the chrome window frames almost seem to protrude out of the aperture not so much at the bottom where they connect to the door but definitely at the top, near the roof. It almost looks like the 2 left frames are standing proud at least 10mm more than they should do, but only under the roof. Does anyone know if the chrome frames can be adjusted to fit further/better into the hole, and how to do it. I am convinced the issue is with the frames and not the doors so to speak, so any help welcome

The frames are held into the doors with screws, you can try to undo the ones at the top and pull the frame inwards, otherwise lower the dropglass, put your knee against the door from the inside, and pull the top of the frame towards you. Don't go too mad.
 
Although I am reluctant to admit it, this is the exact aggressive method I was contemplating myself H, however I was rather hoping with all your experience/expertise you would be able to magic up from nowhere a more delicate solution than mine! However that said, none of your previous recommendations or solutions have ever failed so who am I to question? Like you say, looks like the only way forward is to give it a go, without going berserk!
In seriousness, as always, thank you for your reply/help, much appreciated.

If it makes you feel better, call it "finessing the fit".
