Passenger Side Water Leak

I have water is getting behind the door, pooling at the bottom, then coming over the weatherproofing strip on the bottom. How can I solve this issue. Its not the A Pillar it Sunroof drain . I have changed the door seal with another use one and I still have leaking.

What is the source? Have you tried putting paper towels in places where the water is entering. Even if they dry out, there will be evidence of water ingress.

good Luck,
Peter

Make sure the side window is aligned and seals.
