Also the door panels... If you had any work done in the windows..

There is a vapor barrier that is adheared to the door with butyl tape.. unless the butyl is replaced after working on the car, it never really seals correctly.

also the clips that hold the door panel on have rubber washers that seal the holes.. they need to be on also.

BMW designed there door so that water actuall travels thru the door and out the holes at the bottom.. hence the lines on our rockers as the stuff flushes thru over time..

1 bad vapor barrier can flood the inside of a car 2 or 3 inches in 1 good storm..

good luck..
