Hey guys, I just got my Miata out of storage for the winter and when I took it to get a quick touch free car wash I started hearing water pour into the car from right behind my head

I took a look at the drains for the rear windshield and they were clogged so I cleaned that up. The hose, entry holes, and even the filter behind the seatbelt is all clear now. But the rear windshield still leaks, and moreso on the driver side

It looks like the seal doesn't have as much pressure on the driver side as the passenger side does, and more water does leak in from the driver side.

I can't seem to find anybody online who is experiencing this same issue and I can't for the life of me find a way to adjust the windshield so that the driver side of the glass or the body that presses down on it can be adjusted.

Any help would be really appreciated, a Mazda dealer said it could cost over $300 just for them to take a look at it and I don't want to give up on my summer car that quickly.

I've attached photos of both sides of the car, you can notice differences in the gaps for the seals. I've also tried putting weatherproof tape to make the gap tighter but it barely does the trick. (First pic is the area where water overflows past the weatherstrip and falls down into the car.)
