Posted this at the end of a long thread and unusually, not had any useful responses - so posting again as I feel it may have got lost and a lot of people may not have seen it:
At the risk of boring everyone to death with my water leak again . . . I need your brain power once more on this fellow members!
I have now established beyond doubt the point at which the water is entering the car - it is between the driver's door and the end of the dashboard.
As the pictures show, I took three wads of pale blue absorbent paper and wedged them next to the end of the dashboard alongside the door, just prior to the latest downpour.
As you can see, the top one (near the windscreen) remained dry so water is not getting in there - not surprising as I have had a new rubber in the screen and had it resealed.
The bottom one, down near the hinge, also stayed dry.
The middle wad, opposite the banana seal got sodden wet - it looks darker blue on the picture.
This would maybe suggest the banana seal is not doing its job - but it is a new seal from Mr Feeney, and following his advice, I secured it to the door with adhesive so water could not get underneath it.
I have also replaced the main door seal (courtesy of Fourways) and even the top rubber seal which inserts into the chrome top of the door (thanks Pmac).
I now do not know how to solve this irritating problem.
Looking at the pictures can anyone out there work it out and put me out of my misery?
