Window leaking?
How much would new seals run. Cause I looked at it a little closer today and it looks like the seal is coming away from the body with about a 1/2 inch long gap. Water is probably getting in there and then trickling down to the pod. The side window should be an easy fix.

I adjusted my windsors myself after i had leaks.
Its very simple to do and is not a PITA.. it took 30 min and I was done.
Remove the door pannel.. then there will be 2 screws... one near where door handle lays.. 2nd is near the end of the door. You unscrew these 2 screws.. and then u can move the window stoppers up and down how ever u need to adjust it. And then ur done.. a DIY is on webtech check it out..

you have to take alot of the interior trim off to get to the side windows! their mount bolts are inside.
Mounting bolts? You can unbolt the little rear side windows from the car?

Anyone thinkin what I'm thinkin? FG or CF panels in there....
That is a good idea....but wouldn't you lose some peripheral vision while driving. I don't know if I would want to lose that in trade for good looks or less weight but if it didn't really affect it, I think that would be an awesome mod.

I was thinkin the same a bit, then I thought, do I ever actually look thru those?
Nope.
I guess you could ice up those windows or just tape them up for a week and see.
