Not sure that's there for water tightness.  I've taken the door cards off my TD recently and someone had obviously been in before, but not sealed up right.  There was no damp coming through.

I think I remember reading something to do with airbags and these membranes.

Nice picture of your probable leak point.
Gaffer tape comes to mind as long as your not going to want remove them again

why do I always cringe when someone says that........

Gaffers, not posted pictures of your shagular yet?

Have you proved thats where its coming in?

Its the only place it can be, i put that toilet paper on the sill, that prob did act as a wick.

But behind it, the carpet that runs up to the plastic skirting was darn.

I am thinking putting just a smear with a finger along that line to see if that fixes it.

I opened the door today, the seal is defo working felt it almost suckered on.

Door does not need adjusting, there is no movement on it, no noise from it at speed. When shut you can't feel any movement pushing against it.

Bar a whole in the chassis, i can't see any other possible place for it to get in.

This is going to get tedious...

Have you proved that is the leak?

Thats not a test, as you have NO WAY of knowing if it was a good seal along its entire length.

Why can I see a Captain Mainwaring moment hurtling towards us with unstoppable velocity?

Why not proove the door is leaking by doing a 'hose test'?

Start at the bottom and work your way up spending a couple of mins on say a 300mm section, moving left to right and checking at regular intervals, maybe its me but surely its the most obvious thing to do to see where the leak is or indeed 'if' the seal is leaking and its not just a spilt bottle of Perrier???

I was just thinking that as I read the thread, that would be my first action as water leaks can be very deceiving
