Repairing air leak at driver's window?

At highway speeds I've got an audible air leak at the leading vertical edge of the drivers window. Pressing the run channel toward the glass reduces the noise. Additionally, strange condensation forms on the interior of the glass when it rains due to the vortices present.

Can the window be adjusted forward, or am I going to have to spend hours replacing the run channel?

simular issue for me but I was hoping there was a fix that didn't require window adjustment or rubber replacment. Bentley shows the procedure for the movement of the window in all directions. I think pressure back toward the driver (angle) is an important as moving it foward toward the seal.

I have to replace a window regulator next week and will get baptized in window adjustment. I'll let you know if I solve my leading edge window noise.
