Cheers james. Have cut the crimp off. I have noticed that there is a lot of water under the door rims. Have had the rubber door seals replaced though?

another easy way of knowing it is the door nipples is if you take the ribbed rubber off under the nipple that connects the 2 and feel in the ribs to see if theres water collecting there?  :undecided:

Thanks James. I believe I have located the leak. It seems to be overflowing from the door sill the thing is I have had the internal door seal changed but not the external one changed. Is this worth doing?  I have also read that it is worth taking off the  door panel and getting the bottom sealed. Can anyone recomend me someone in west London to do this please.
