The frame should be sitting flush with the rear window post. Sit inside the car and look up to see if the seal is making contact with the window frame.

I have to slam my door to get it to shut properly. I don't know if this is a normal mini trait? Or is it because my door it sitting right?

New seals will cause this, worth checking to see if its making contact all the way round. You could put a layer of vaseline over the seal all round and then close the door . Open and check to see whether there is vaseline on all of the door contact areas.

Ok cheers. The doors always had to be slammed to shut before I replaced the seals. I'll have ago with the Vaseline tho.

That could be the windscreen seals then? Ive had mine done so I know it doesn't leak there

If the door isn't sitting right, what do I do?

You can adjust it using the hinge mounts going through the A post. If you find you have little or no adjustment there the holes can be elongated to suit your needs.

Just thought I'd let you know I've found where the leak is. The doors are sitting too low and crushing the door seal at one end. This is where the waters getting in. So I just need to adjust the doors and get new seals.
