So I guessed that rainwater will get into doors, but how much, mini is filled till the fisrt hole and it had ruined my old door cards and I dont want the same again.

Do you have the chrome strip on the top of the door skin (outer)?

In the pictures you can see the gaps, will these need fixing or will it be okay?

your door should already have holes in the bottom of it
just unblock these holes and fit a new membrane between the door and the door card
once we get some warmer weather stick some waxoyl in the bottom, doors rot from the inside out

you could put ducttape over the holes between the doorcard and door, to stop the water coming through to the doorcards?

That is acctually somthing I will do, that is a good idea.
Okay all tapped up, holes remade, will put the cards back in tomorrow if i can get more clips/pins as some broke and some were missing.
