its the top of the door, because its a large window its weak and the seals fails you just need to bent the top back a little so the seal works

the sunroof one is an old one and was sorted years ago with wider drains (not that it helped those parking under trees) but the door one is relevant to today's problems

believe me its a common problem with most new cars or large door opening and well known to the trade but not a recall because its what people wanted by design and 4x4 suffer the worst
