There should be a plastic sheet that's stuck to the door, make sure it isn't leaking through this. Best way to check is to take the trim off the door, climb in (maybe with the driver seat out), close the door and have someone else pour water over the door.

Oh, and have some rags handy to soak it up with

ther was like a rubber sheet atached to the door, but i had to take that off to get to the glass

but there was a bit of plastic sheeting attached to the door handle, ripped that away tho

The plastic sheeting mate. Same size as the inside of the door and stuck around the edge of the metal frame.
