Check if its entering through door speaker. Pour a lot of water on the outside of the window

Hi thanks I will check that... is that a weak spot then and indicated that I need a new door seal? I have noticed that on the same side, the rear window rubber has started pilling away and so I guess I need a new one.. are then held on with adhesive then?

You don't need new door seal. Water is supposed to go into the door. Problem is that you can have a gap below speaker, where the water passes into the car. At least that is what I had in my case. I have sealed that gap and never had an issue again. Below speaker there is a small drain hole

Thats interesting well I checked and no water seemed to come through from there, but did you take the door card off in order to get to the hole that you are referring to?

I had to remove door panel inside. But if you are not getting water bellow the speaker and through it, you need to looks elsewhere. Pour big amount on the windshield and observe.
