On my 96 spri the I've put new door seals on but water still runs in around the seal. The door seems to fit fine. Does anybody use a sealer underneath the door seals?

I'm open to any suggestions.

You should never need sealant. Are you absolutely sure it's coming through the main seal?

Water collecting in the floor can come through the check strap seals or through the door itself.

We've got all the carpets out and with a hose pipe on it a small trickle of water comes over the inner sill about midway. I, just assuming its the door seal. I have replaced both sides check strap seals.

Nope, it looks like its actually coming down the seal. The door card plastic has already had silicone on to seal them
