Is it leaking through the windscreen rubber

i had the same issue, my door seals had separated a little bit from the top of the door (where the door meets the roof). i used a bit of loctite and that fixed the leaks.
just go around and check all the seals around the top and bottom of your doors.

Ah ive discovered the same problem yesterday when swapping out my Orions, bloody things were wet along with everything else inside the door from halfway down.
Hendoau99 you can attach them to your post or make a photobucket account, upload your photos then copy paste the IMG link into your post and it will come up. You may have to resize your pics so they dont take up the whole screen.

hmmm, my files are too large. i'll try and explain. when you open the door, there are two rubber seals. up just below the roof line. i pulled both seals back and put loctite along the edge of the seals then put them back in place. now, on the door itself, theres a seal on the top. it's the part that joins the roof when you shut the door. i did the same with that one. really hope this helps, bit bummed my pics are too big. coz' that explains it so much better than words. i will get pics up.

Um, excuse my ignorance, but how will that stop water getting into the doors? Those seals stop water getting past the doors and into the cabin. The inside of a door is not ever going to be totally dry area.

Im having this same problem, must be a common AU thing.
Id suggest looking at the rear view mirrors on the door, make sure the rubber around it is in positiuon etc because its the same area as the speaker. |

with the whole how does that stop water getting in question, IDK, it was dripping in from those areas so i loctited the seals and that stopped it.

OK, behind the mirrror is another way, but only very small holes and well sealed by the rubber. More likely you have damaged/worn/dirty seals on the window glass. Also make sure the window is wound up hard and fully when raining, this makes sure the bottom of the glass is pushed hard against rubber seal. The glass just has to be 1-2 mm down, and it will not be sealed properly.
