Annoying draft entering the car.

My drivers side window is not stock, the guy I bought it from replaced it, because someone broke it to steal some stuff out of the car. Now, when I close the door, it stays sealed, nice and tight. BUT, if I roll the window down and then roll it up, there is basically air flowing in hard next to my ear, it is almost like the window is cracked. I can stick my finger in between the window and weather stripping and almost outside I would imagine. Is this due to needing weatherstripping replaced? or could this window be crap, since it is aftermarket?

I wouldn't think that even an aftermarket window would do that. Does the weatherstrip look cut or torn around that area? Maybe from when the first window broke? You may take it to a glass shop they may be able to help you.
 
The weatherstripping is tricky to get back in once it is pulled out. You have the make sure it is properly seated around the top of the window. When I put them back together I always run a non-sharp tool to tuck in all in.
