Hi guys, the rain from the past few days has managed to get into my passengar side door well. (See photo)

The street I am parked is on a bit of a camber with this side being higher I'm not sure if this is worsening the situation.
Any idea of what to check or usual suspects for leaks?
Thanks
Rich

Re: Water in passenger side door well
Thanks for the hints.
I have taken the door panel off today and found the problem. I park on a slant so the door with the leak is higer than the other. Water comes in from bad seals and follows the front window runner down inside the door. Because of the parked angle all this water runs onto the speaker. The speaker only has a foam seal so once saturated escapes into the cabin.
I think it's just a design flaw.

Re: Water in passenger side door well
Update... it is also leaking out of the hole in the panel for the door trim clip beneath and just to the left of the speaker. I'm wondering if I should try and try and shield the holes for speaker and clip or replace the rubber window seals and hopefully stop the water coming in the first place.
Does anyone know what sort of seal these electric windows take?
Thanks for all your help

Re: Water in passenger side door well
My guess would be replace the seal and stop water coming in.
Anything else is just treating the symptoms, not the disease.

Re: Water in passenger side door well
Yeah that's what makes sense to me, do you know if I need to get a specific replacement part from say a breakers or something or are these things universal amd third party parts fit?
Sorry for my ignorance.

Re: Water in passenger side door well
I did read of someone replacing both door seals a while back. Seam to remember they were expensive but the owner was very pleased with the lack of wind noise.
I don't think you can buy a universal seal.

Re: Water in passenger side door well
You can buy universal rubber seals, the problem is the shape / profile ,your local scrappie or coach builders/body shop is your bet.
But you might be able to do the oracle with some of these?
