I cut the slots in the door seal and cleaned them out too, also hoovered out the water. Its bone dry now, doesnt let any water in at all even with very heavy rain. Thanks for the tip GaryRF.

My Tolly has only started leaking in the last 2 months, and is only the passenger side, but it's like a Gold fish bowl now !!!
Can someone take pics of these chopped door seals & or provide a link with details on how to repalce the sealeant on the inside of the door trims ?
Many thanks

Oily, I,ll be frank, I think replacing the door card seals is an extreme measure, that will only be successful if your doors are filling up with water. You need to cut 2 cuts about 1-2 mm wide in your main door aperture seals at the bottom. Imagine you have shrunk to the size of a . where is the water collecting???? on top of the seal and it then runs the easiest way, which sadly is into the car!!! so the cuts (Which will make you whince!! why am I almost destroying these expensive door aperture rubbers????) well it worked for me. Think about it, its a design fault, the rubber seals let that water collect instead of channeling it away. The drastic cuts will do the channeling away. Also if yr doors are filling up, feel up under the door bottom rubber, when shut it squashes up and traps water and allows the holes to get blocked... clean the holes and put 2 cuts in this rubber by the holes (no one can see this cut.) The water in the door can then run outside the car, just like with the other 2 cuts they are channeling the water to the outside rather than in.
