door and boot seal

If theres water on the seals of the door and boot, does this mean that the seals have gone and need replacing.

could just get away with adjusting the door and boot?

twist the rubber stoppers in on either side of the boot door

move the door striker pin inwards.- adjusted with a spanner

if theres water on top of the door seals, its the gutter strips that have gone. at the boot it could be the seals have shrunk, but as long as the water isnt getting past them then its fine

Thanks, yer the water getting by lol, in the boot its bad, wet window but I think as I've got a rust hole waters getting in through there but thought maybe the seal was letting by aswell. in the front its pretty wet too on passenger floor mat but noticed that rubber disc seal is missing in my engine bay, so most probably that ? as sunroof seems fine and not blocked.

Ill get the rubber discs and sort the rust out before getting new seals

Could also be a leaky weather seal in the door itself, expecially if the doorcards are wet.
