Vent window leaks

I just noticed that after this winter I've developed a small but annoying leak from my vent window. (passenger side)
There are a few drops on the side panel when it has been raining.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Any suggestions other than replaceing the factory seals?
I don't feel good about removing the glass on my own.
The door seal modification sounds ok, however i'm conerned about alignment of the glass.
I'd hate to stress the closer motors or have the glass not shut completely.

I have the same leek. From the research that I have done on here I believe it is not your window, but a leek from your roof. It is pretty common on the EX....poor welds. If you stand on your rear bumper and look at the back part of the roof I will bet you can find a weld that may be the culprit. It will probably only be a pin hole size but it will be in a channel and all the water is flowing back into it. It the flows down along the headliner and drips from the side. Looks like it is the window molding but for most people on here is was the roof.

The fix could be as easy as silicone.
