confusing water leak

[will 2 0]

ok I found my water leak coming in from the door membrane and over the door seal, so I have bought both to renew as the membrane was totally in bits and the door seal had split, now the confusing bit is I have removed the membrane (cleaned all the crap off the door ) old seal still in place at this point, had a few long down pours before I could replace and expecting a swimming pool inside the car when the rain decided to stop after about 2 days only to find its bone dry, how can this be !!!

Was the car on the flat, or on any sort of incline !

anyone got any ideas

how about side to side lean?

 

was the car parked in exactly the same position as when it leaked?

 

i know for example that sometimes the passenger side has a little water ingress if it is on a slight slope with the offside lower than nearside

 

but if it is parked flat there is no issue at all

car is parked in the same spot with no side to side lean just the very slight downward incline

odd - though my mechanic always says its impossible to replicate rain lol

 

maybe it was a difference in wind direction

 

have you tried giving it a good soaking with a hose? though id refer you to the above sentence too lol

Open the car door , then use a watering can to get the water to run down the window , check the bottom of the door card for leaks . Also it should come out of the bottom of the door , where the drain holes are .
