If this is broke, the membrane, does the water come into the car?

Pour water over the outside while your sitting in it. You ll see exactly where its coming in even if a membrane is there

If you're doing you're own membrane tuck the sheet back into the door space at the bottom to channel the water towards the drain holes, I found that I couldn't get them completely water tight without doing this no matter how much duct tape I used.

You can kind of make out from the picture that I found the best way was to fold the sheet back in on itself at the corners to help channel the water better then tuck it into the space and tape it up!
