06 sl500 window catching on wa=eather stripping

The driver's side window catches on the weather stripping when I open the door on my '06 sl500. If I pause slightly when opening the door the window will clear the rubber. Is this a common problem? Does anyone know if there is an adjustment for it? thanks

weather stripping

No, I didn't. I believe the problem on my car was that the window was adjusted to high into the weather stripping, not the weather stripping itself.
Talked to some mechanics and none seemed too confident about adjusting the window. Possibility of leaking. So I am living with it. Open the door a little slower and give the window a chance to clear the weather stripping.
