Side window seals?
Have to taken the rear door cards out yet? there maybe a rusty hole waiting for you in the "gutter"
But I'd deffo check there, unless your seat pan has started to rot...

ginigwunkle if you adjust the lock, so the door shuts a bit more, youl get a better seal.

I had the same problem... I took the lot out when I was having my clifford and sound system fitted to make the running of wires neater and easier and the back was soaked....

It was the rear window seals.... Mine has the fixed, non opening ones.... 2 new seals and it cured the problem!!!
