Have you tried adjusting the roof latches a bit tighter so that the roof seals better? Failing that you could try the bodgy panel beater door adjustment and bend the window frame in a smidge so that it seals a bit better.

They are a bit cheaper than a new seal and may fix or reduce the problem.

$165 delivered to your door. pretty much guaranteed without any ƒü¢k up from the UK mob.

Rang another dealer closer by and its $156

Yep thats starting to happen now i put down the window a bit and can see the water marks running from the front to where the roof rubber splits and its dripping off there
