check your window seal when cars get older the seals tend to split and crack and can cause water leaks check that then maybe if it is still leaking and u dont wana replace the seal u can adjust ur door striker inwards which will bring ur door in further preventing possibe leaks depending how bad it is. oh by the way ur door striker is the piece ur door closes against on ur car it should have one screw or 2 maybe its metal and has a latch on it also

i have a 93 sol si and it only leaks if rains ALOT. It's only from the spot where the regular driver window meets up with that triangular window, happens on both sides though.

silicone grease is a great temporary fix, but you'll have to reapply it every so often. this is a common del sol problem that honda fixed in the 95+ sols. For a permanent fix, buy the weather stripping for a 95+ sol and replace yours. Its some $ for a few pieces of rubber, but you'll be leak free.
