The leak is probably a bad weatherstrip or window run. You will have to find exactly where the air is leaking and repair or replace that specific area.

The window that's stuck could have a faulty regulator or track/guide. You will have to go into the door and find the problem.

It's possible but very unlikely. Is it? You should be able to see if that's the case when you roll the window up. If it's not out of adjustment you will need a new run channel.

Maybe it does.

Does it? Look and see. It doesn't matter if someone says that and it's not true. It only matters if it's true. Slowly roll the window up and watch to see if it shifts...

It's 11:47 PM and yeah, I'm typing.

It's also possible that the window could be dragging on the run channel. Does it shift back into position when you roll it down? Does it go into position when it reaches to top of the channel?

A better description of what exactly happens and at what points would help greatly.

It's 11:50 PM and I'm done for the night...

Sounds like the tracks are worn. I'd remove the interior panel, loosen the glass from the lowering mechanism, and slide it up and down slowly by hand so I could feel at what point it goes in and out of proper alignment. You should be able to work it up and down until you find an exact spot and then take a look at that track and see why it is behaving the way it is.

It really could be anything from a window track problem, a regulator problem, a run channel problem, or an adjustment problem.

yes this is TRUE, same problem on mine, window rolls up then shifts towards the front of the car slightly (few mm's). Had to get it retinted twice. It's a toyota thing apparently.
I even get the odd wind noise here and there, easy fix... just quickly tap the power window button down and the window will ever so slightly dislodge from its shifted position into a more sealed position. works every time and happens to me very rarely, once a month or so.

Running the tint on the window into the run channel is a no-no. It can cause the window to bind slightly, which can cause the condition described.
