Mine used to drip too. I greased up the rubber with silicon grease (get it from a plumbers trade counter), a couple of weeks later I noticed that there was no more drip, and there hasn't been since.
Try it, and leave it a couple of weeks before you do anything else. I used to leave towels on the front seats to soak up any drips when I left it too - don't bother now but it might save your seats/floor.

P.S. Silicon grease will also get rid of those squeaks around the windows as you drive along, just run a bit along all surfaces that touch the glass - including the edges of the glass.

make sure you get silicon grease in a tube, NOT silicone spray in a can
you only need a tiny amount.
If this doesn't work, you can buy the complete C-shaped O/E rubber seal for about 60 GBP; quite easy to fit. Goes from one front side window, then across the windscreen, then the other front side window
