Default water leakage

i been reading alot about doors rusting out. my question is my driver side door skin isnt rusting just the lip under the door where the skin wraps under and the rocker panel is rusting out. weird thing is its only that side. now i went to put new floor mats in the other day and noticed the carpet wet on the passenger side all the way from the front down the door sill and up byb the jack.i dried it out and it was wet the next morning no rain just fog but this time it was only wet in the front. has anybody had this problem and if so how did they fix it. oh and the door seals look almost new except it has those rain guard things over the windows and it has a lip that sits over the top of the door onto the inside could this be causing it. any help would be great. thanks

pull the carpet up and leave it that away for a couple of days to see where the water is coming from. Thats what i'm doing right now.

I had the same wet carpet problem in my 1996. I had "Water Docotors" or something look at it and they fixed leaks around the rear window and the 3rd brake light. It has been dry ever since up front. When I took out the rear seat, I could see water marks where it had run down from the window.

Default water drips

I haqve a drip problem too. I fixed the leak fron the rear window with silicone. Now I have a leak from the rear fly window. The gasket is shot. Anyone have any info on after market gaskets available?? I hate to go to the dealer & order it & wait. That's if I can find a dealer that is still in biz.
