    it's a very common problem, it's the seal on the small window in the rear door usually in the left/right bottom corner

    it leaks past the window seal and then through the door seal into the footwell

    My VY was doing this on one back door. I found the plastic seal behind the coor card was damaged and poorly attached so I removed it and re applied it using windscreen sealant but it started to leak again so I bought a new one and replaced it using spray adhesive to attach it and it has not leaked since however I have seen water sitting in the crease of the door seal at the bottom.
    The fixed glass in the rear doors in a VY is not sealed from the inside of the door at the bottom at all. My VY had a lot of sponge rubber around this window on the inside so I took it out as it just holds water.
    Funny thing is though the other rear door has never leake at all.
    I'd go and buy a new plastic seal from Holden and glue it on and see how it goes. They are not very expensive.
