another place to check is the pivot point of the vent window on the doors.
my driver's side leaked in heavy rains, so i got some black silicon seal
and put a "dab" on the outside, where the glass and the pivot point met the
rubber. it's held now for 7 years. don't go getting "gobby" with it ... it
only takes a very little to plug the hole.
