VE Commodore
I have recently purchased a VE Commodore and have noticed when it rains I have water drops falling from the roof where the door connects to the roof in the backseat passenger door. I have attached photos to show where the water is getting through and was wondering what needs to be fixed or replaced as I am unsure how it is getting in. Thanks

You could try replacing the door rubber, but from the water splatter, it looks to me like the window may not be fully up and sealed.

Sit in the back with a pencil and get someone to lightly spray with the hose ( I said light spray ) and when the water comes through
mark the point with a pencil.
Reminds me of the joke about the constipated mathematician
He worked it out with a pencil Ha Ha Ha

Pretty obvious where it is getting through. Something wrong with the rubber seals or the top of the door frame is not compressing the rubber properly when the door is closed.

Which parts did you spray?
All the rubber door seals. I spray it onto a clean cloth and wipe onto the rubber seals so you don’t get overspray on everything else. Probably good for the rubber in the window runners but I haven’t done that with mine yet.
