Yeah I guess so. I think it just freaked me out a bit as I didn't feel/notice any drops of water on the inside until about half an hour into my journey, making me think it was the rain leaking in on route.

So just an update on my leaky door seal. Opened my drivers door this morning, wasn't raining but must have been a wet night and the seal was soaked, with drips on the inside. The black rubber bit also has some weird marks on it, like something has stained it in a couple of places and its in these places that the water was gathering the most. Ill post a pic if I can work out how to.
Not happy though, expensive car that seems to have a cheap seal that has somehow got damaged? cant think how it would have happened.

Before I head down to the dealer does anyone know how or what could have made these marks? im trying to recall when they appeared, I don't think they were there when I picked up the car (but I cant remember for sure). The water seems to pool on the strips and then gets squished into the car.

Do you know what FNJ, I have exactly that too. I noticed it when I was washing my car but didn't think anything of it and honestly thought it was normal because it hadn't 'squished' and dripped into the car...interesting. I will check it more thoroughly later.
