Same problem here too. Mostly on driver's side. Only sometimes. My mechanic told me that the weatherstripping is showing some wear. Try changing it out. It may be costly though. I would pay a little more and get the GM kind instead of the cheaper aftermarket kind. You get what you pay for.

This happened to me the other day, raining pretty heavily while driving to work on the beltway.....water leaking in from the top of the window on the driver's side door. Checked the seal that night and all looked to be okay.

Mine does the same thing and the weather stripping looks fine. I don't drive it but on the weekends so i just keep it in the garage when it rains. The only way i found to fix it.
